Date Time Flinders Micro CT takes imaging to new levels Micro CT Scanner Project lead, Associate Professor Egon Perilli, demonstrating the scanner’s capabilities at Tonsley. Australia’s largest cabinet Micro-CT scanner, unveiled at Flinders University Tonsley campus, will enable South Australian researchers to scan large human bones, ancient fossils, and machine parts with unprecedented levels of detail and reveal fresh insights about the makeup of 3D objects. The state-of-the-art piece of equipment enables 3D-scanning of large and heavy samples weighing up to 50kg, including human limbs, prosthesis devices, engineered structures, batteries, plants, fossils, vertebrates, and 3D composite materials. Developed by Nikon Metrology (UK), the 4.5 tonne scanner will also enable custom-developed experimental systems to be placed inside, to test human limbs, biomedical devices, and engineered components.
