Description

The Concrete and Materials Branch (CMB) of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) has a requirement to purchase a Zeiss Xradia 620 X-ray microscope manufactured by Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC (Cage: 325W6) under NAICS Code 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing for the non-destructive analysis and characterization of materials.

The CMB requires an x-ray microscope with submicron resolution imaging at large working distances to be able to analyze a diverse set of sample sizes and types. The system needs to be able to analyze samples using Resolution at a Distance (RaaD), which enables non-destructive imaging of a samples interior. RaaD uses a scintillator, converting x-rays to a visible light image which is then magnified by microscope optics before acquisition by a CCD detector. By leveraging RaaD, the Xradia Versa maintains highest resolution across large working distances, accommodating both sample, environmental chamber, and high precision load rigs without sacrificing resolution. Due to the nature of the sample geometries and materials being analyzed, the Zeiss Xradia 620 X-ray microscope is the only one that meets the CMBs needs.
