The FF20 CT is the expert microCT system for X-ray microscopy (XRM) applications in R&D, defect analysis, or CT metrology. It is designed for inspections of very small components and objects in the electronics industry, material science, and other research areas.
FF20 CT highlights
- Accurate material analyses in laboratory applications
- 2D detail visibility of down to 150 nm with 190 kV transmission tube
- Precise manipulation and temperature stability through granite base
- Intuitive Geminy graphical user interface with touchscreens
Non-destructive X-ray microscopy with high energy
The smaller components become, the more important it is to achieve highly accurate, reliable X-ray CT (XCT) scans for quality assurance, process control, and small series inspections. The Comet Yxlon FF20 CT is an extremely compact high-resolution microCT system, designed specifically for the inspection of very fine parts and internal structures. With comparatively high energy of 190 kV, even dense items can be analyzed to the smallest detail.

as well as for small to medium plastic samples
Water-cooled 190 kV transmission tube
The 190 kV nano-focus transmission tube achieves a detail visibility in radioscopy (2D) of down to 150 nm. While its water-cooled target and coils allow for quick temperature balance and highest focal spot stability, four modes enable the optimal adjustment of the focal spot size in relation to power. In addition, the granite-based manipulator of the FF20 CT guarantees temperature stability and smallest thermal expansion for maximum precision and accuracy in XRM applications.
Various trajectories for maximum flexibility
Graphic symbols and a wide range of automated functions enable the intuitive user interface Geminy to provide easy operation – independent of the operator’s skill level. At the same time, it offers a great number of features for flexibility regarding part sizes and inspection tasks, like CT trajectories such as HeliExtend (helical CT scan and reconstruction method), a horizontal field-of-view extension, a virtual rotating axis, and standard Quick/QualityScan.
