Available from July 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

SEAM is expanding its advanced X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) capability with the addition of the ZEISS Xradia Context\u00ae MicroCT system<\/strong>, one of the most advanced microCT platforms available to industry and research.<\/p>\n

The ZEISS Xradia Context MicroCT enhances the balance between image resolution, data quality, and practical applicability, enabling non-destructive, high-quality 3D imaging of complex samples<\/strong>. This system significantly enhances SEAM\u2019s ability to support detailed materials analysis, failure investigation, and performance evaluation across a wide range of sectors.<\/p>\n

How this enhances SEAM\u2019s CT Scanning Capability<\/h3>\n

The addition of the ZEISS Xradia Context MicroCT strengthens SEAM\u2019s CT offering in several key ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    High-quality imaging with enhanced detail<\/strong>
    A high-array detector enables the capture of fine internal details while maintaining a large field of view. This allows SEAM to image entire intact components rather than smaller sub-samples, improving representativeness and reducing preparation time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Advanced non-destructive testing (NDT)<\/strong>
    Clients can perform internal inspections and failure analysis without cutting or damaging parts, making it ideal for high-value components, electronic assemblies, additively manufactured parts, and sensitive materials.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Comprehensive 3D and 4D analysis<\/strong>
    The system enables full 3D characterisation of internal structures and defects, as well as 4D evolutionary studies<\/strong>, where changes can be tracked over time through ex-situ treatment or in-situ sample manipulation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Improved workflow efficiency<\/strong>
    Rapid sample mounting and alignment, streamlined acquisition workflows, and fast data reconstruction significantly reduce turnaround times, allowing SEAM to support both R&D and industrial timelines more effectively.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Deeper materials characterisation<\/strong>
    The system supports detailed quantification of performance-defining features such as porosity, cracks, inclusions, defects, and multi-phase structures\u2014critical for materials development, quality assurance, and root-cause analysis.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Correlative microscopy integration<\/strong>
    Integration with the ZEISS correlative microscopy environment allows non-destructive 3D CT data to be used to accurately identify regions of interest for subsequent high-resolution or destructive analysis, increasing insight while reducing unnecessary testing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Applications<\/h3>\n

    The ZEISS Xradia Context MicroCT will support applications including:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Non-destructive failure analysis<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Inspection of electronic components and assemblies<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Analysis of complex geometries and engineered materials<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Geological and materials research (porosity, inclusions, fractures)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Additive manufacturing validation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n
