Collection of ENEA technology and expertise
NIXT laboratory to perform X-ray analysis, by means of imaging, tomography or spectroscopy, of samples or to calibrate or characterize detectors
The technology allows the analysis with imaging at high resolution (55 microns) and the spectral analysis at level of single pixel. This combination boosts enormously the analysis capability

Application sectors
Agro - foodMade in Italy industry innovative approaches and technologiesMaterialsTechnologies for the environment and circular economy
Problem to solve
Biological or vegetal samples samples have to be investigated at low X-ray energy (2-30 keV) and commercial devices are not available. the same it is for low density materials (foams, carbon fibers...). This technique is useful also for recognition of multilayered materials
