Chicago (USA), October 31, 2006: phoenix|x-ray is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the coveted Global Technology Award 2006 in the category "Best Inspection/X-ray system" for its novel 160kV nanofocus® computed tomography system nanotom®. The award was presented by Global SMT & Packaging Magazine during Assembly Technology Expo in Rosemont, Chicago. The independent panel of international experts from industry and research chose the nanotom® for its high degree of technical innovation and outstanding ease-of-use.
The nanotom® is the first 160 kV nanofocus(TM) computed tomography system ever to cater specifically to applications in sensorics, materials science, electronics and the semiconductor industry. The nanotom® enables the analysis of internal structures of complex electronic devices at highest resolutions.
This super- compact system features a granite base, a 160 kV high-power nanofocus(TM) X-ray tube by phoenix|x-ray and a special high-resolution digital detector for voxel resolutions in the < 500 nm (0.5 µm) range featuring a 5-megapixel resolution and virtual detector plane for the highest possible magnification and resolution.
The nanotom® allows the analysis of samples of up to 120 mm (4.7 inches) in diameter and up to 1 kg (2.2 pounds) in weight. Its ergonomically designed door and adjustable sample holder make for an easy and precise positioning of the sample.
The nanotom® comes with phoenix|x-ray's latest CT-software, datos|x, which is easy and intuitive to use, even for less advanced users. This high performance software sets new speed and quality standards for image acquisition and volume reconstruction. Optionally, the performance of the software may be improved by means of a computer cluster making image acquisition and volume reconstruction even faster.
