Our Xradia Ultra is a high-end x-ray microscope (XRM) providing high-resolution imaging up to 50 nm as well as large field of view stacks made for 3 dimensional reconstructions. With advanced optics firstly established for synchrotron experiments, we obtain with this XRM equal resolutions for our laboratory. The rotating chromium anode source offers a quasi-monochromatic 5.4 keV x-ray beam due to condenser and Fresnel zone plate lens system. Common absorption imaging yield material mass contrast of small slices up to bulk specimen. In addition, the Xradia Ultra includes Zernike phase contrast visualization for porous or small mass-bandwidth samples as organic materials by edge enhancement. Furthermore, mechanic in situ experiments are enabled by a customized mounting stage for pressure, shear and strain stress. The high-end XRM closes the visualisation gap between Light and Electron Microscopy in a non-destructive way.
