A cutting-edge benchtop micro-CT platform, the inCiTe™ 3D X-ray Microscope provides high-resolution, three-dimensional vision of biological tissues, bone microarchitecture, and cutting-edge materials.
Its phase contrast imaging characteristics make it possible to see minute structural details in low-density specimens, implant-tissue interfaces, and trabecular and cortical bone that are challenging to see with traditional X-ray methods. The inCiTe™ 3D is a powerful yet small device that revolutionizes preclinical orthopedic research applications by providing remarkable insights.
