X-ray Microscopic Examination of Calcified Algae - Mastophora rosea (C.Agardh) Setchell

University of Guam researchers are investigating the genetic diversity of reef builders. The high-resolution setup of our laboratory's new SkyScan 2214 allowed us to microscopically examine this calcified algae sample in great detail, including visualization of each ostiole.

SkyScan 2214 Multi-scale X-ray Nano-CT

Micro Photonics is proud to announce the expansion of our laboratory to include the Bruker SkyScan 2214 nano-CT, which allows us an expanded view of samples with resolution never before possible on our desktop instruments. The SkyScan 2214 is versatile enough to be able to scan at ultra-high resolution and also scale up to large, dense samples.

We are excited to now have the full suite of SkyScan ex-vivo instruments available for evaluation and testing in our in-house laboratory and look forward to continuing to assist you in your work with our wide array of laboratory services.
