Description
 

The combined micro-CT - micro-XRF system Herakles combines three scanning stages for extensive sample characterization at the UGCT Core Facility. One high-resolution CT stage is complemented with two micro-XRF stages, where the three stages are linked by an innovative air-beared positioning system which offers a sub-micron accuracy over the complete setup, necessary for the image correlation.
