Description
The Environmental Micro-CT or EMCT system is a rather unique, gantry-based high-resolution setup developed for fast CT scanning and in-situ monitoring at the UGCT Core Facility. The design of a horizontal gantry allows for the installation of a large number of add-on modules such as flow cells, pressure stages, temperature stages, ... in a convenient vertical position without a limitation on tubes and wires. Furthermore, the components are chosen to enable fast and continuous CT scanning at up to 5 full rotations per minute.
