Staff Analysis Only
The Zeiss Xradia Versa 620 XRM is currently available for staff analysis only. Below is step-by-step instructions on how to submit samples for scans and request training for data processing.
Analysis Rate
- a minimum charge of $200 (Academic) / $600 (Industrial) for the first two hours
- $50/hr (Academic) / $150/hr (Industrial) beyond the initial 2 hours
Example costs:
- 1-hour scan: $200 (Academic) / $600 (Industrial)
- 2-hour scan: $200 (Academic) / $600 (Industrial)
- 3-hour scan: $250 (Academic) / $750 (Industrial)
Sample dimension
- Although the system can accommodate large size samples, smaller sample size will help obtain higher quality results and reduce overall scan time. With smaller sample size, the detector and source can be brought closer to the sample/ROI, which will increase achievable resolution and X-ray intensity.
- Sample need to be mounted on a holder, by glue, sticky tape, clamp. Please provide details if any caution is required when handling/mounting your samples.
- Sample cannot change its morphology during the measurement (i.e., dehydration or moving in liquid/solution). This will fail reconstruction.
- For samples with high aspect ratio (wide or tall), wide-mode or vertical-stitch is available.
