Highest Contrast & Highest Throughput for Challenging Samples
The ChromaXRM features Sigray’s patented X-ray multi-color source. Selecting the X-ray color of the X-ray beam illuminating the sample can dramatically improve contrast to visualize details that would otherwise be missed, as clearly is seen in the images below comparing the ChromaXRM to the setup of the next leading XRM. Because of the high contrast, tomographies can be acquired at 10X the throughput for these challenging samples.
500nm Spatial Resolution
ChromaXRM achieves the highest spatial resolution available on the market at 500nm (0.5 µm).

Multiple Fields of View with 5 Detectors
Select up to 5 elements for your ChromaXRM-500 X-ray source. Examples are given above but additional targets (e.g., Pt, Ag, etc.) may be provided upon request.
Application
- Life Sciences: Unstained Soft Tissue
- Carbon Fibers and Low Z Materials
- Pharmaceuticals
- Entomology and Botany
Rendered liver and virtual histology cross-section.
Silicon carbide composite using the ChromaXRM. Contrast is substantially improved in comparison with W-based X-ray source results.
Microstructural imaging during process development is critical in minimizing time to market. ChromaXRM provides the ability to: quantify batch to batch variations in coating thickness, measure the distribution of API in formulation, and find cracks, voids and defects in tablets and pills. Choice of X-ray target in Sigray’s patented multi-spectral X-ray source improves contrast and throughput.
Selection of lower X-ray energies on the ChromaXRM’s multi-spectral contrast source enables excellent contrast for imaging insects and plants for entomology and botany research.
