- 01DEC2006: SkyScan is moving to a new building
- To support the extension of research and development and fast growing production, SkyScan is moving to a new site. The company has purchased more than 8500 sq.m. of land in the Satenrozen industrial district in Kontich. The property includes a newly built production facility and offices with a total area close to 2000 sq.m. Starting from the 4th of December 2006 all correspondence for SkyScan should be mailed to the following new address:

SkyScan starts production of several optional specimen stages for 1172 and 1174 scanners. The stages can be used for micro-positioning and sample scanning under specific conditions, such as compression, tension, torsion, cooling, etc. |

Field testing of the Skyscan 1072 and 1074 micro-CT scanners was taken to extremes by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, from Bremerhaven, Germany. Dr Johannes Freitag describes how these two scanners were transported to their Antarctic research station at Kohnenstation, 75 South, 0° East. “The CTs were placed in the red tent. We split the room into a cold room (about -10°C, isolated by a snow wall) for the systems and a warm part for the computers (and us)”. Despite these cold conditions the scanners performed well, showing Antarctic snow “flakes” to have an unusual hollow structure, quite different from snow flake structures in temperate latitudes. Building on the success of their first trip, Dr Freitag and his group are planning further expeditions to their Antarctic station, collaborating with Skyscan to analyse larger snow cores non-destructively by high-resolution micro-CT.

SkyScan starts production of new SkyScan-1178 Micro-CT scanner for in-vivo/in-vitro biomedical applications and for material science. Using two x-ray source-camera pairs and cluster reconstruction software allows reducing scanning + reconstruction cycle for full volume 80x80x80mm to 50 seconds. Integrated physiological monitoring subsystem for small laboratory animals imaging supports gating from breathing and heart (ECG), body temperature stabilization, real-time animal imaging with movement detection, etc. The instruments supplied with two interchangeable carbon-composite beds and additional bed adapter for using in PET/SPECT scanners for multimodal imaging. |
