NanoCT Trial Scans

Due to the complexity of nanoCT, the MCC offers trial scans for new specimen types. These are intended to introduce prospective users/groups to the tool with reduced risk and predictable costs, but may be arranged for existing users with new specimen types. Please contact Nicole Bohn for more information.

With a trial scan, you will receive:

• Datasets in a format of your choice from one specimen scanned at up to two different sets of conditions. 
  
  • Conditions may be chosen for two different fields of view or scan qualities.
  • Datasets are available as .tiff stacks, .txm, and .dicom
• Two half-hour specialist calls:
  
  • One pre-scan to discuss needs, goals, and expectations
  • One post-scan to discuss data interpretation and provide scan insights.
  • Prospective users may join remotely or in person for scan setup (about 30-60 min)
• MCC Staff are not responsible for analyzing or segmenting datasets, but may provide resources or advice to assist in these efforts.
