SkyScan 1172 High Resolution desktop Micro-CT System

The SkyScan 1172 is a compact and highly versatile X-ray Micro-tomography System for non-destructive three-dimensional imaging and analysis with high spatial resolution. Different combinations of X-ray source and camera are available for this bench-top system. The 1172 supersedes the extremely successful Model 1072.
