Waygate Technologies' most advanced nanoCT® system yet
The Phoenix Nanotom HR redefines sub-micron CT by blending research-grade resolution with everyday usability. Delivering 50nm detail detectability, striking contrast, and unmatched speed, it bridges the gap between discovery and productivity. With its open-tube design, large-area detector technology, and seamless workflow, the Nanotom HR empowers you to resolve the finest details, accelerate your research, and make confident decisions faster.
ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION
See the smallest. Get the clearest.
Experience true sub-micron imaging that sets a new benchmark for research-grade CT. With voxel sizes as small as 400nm (JIMA standard) and detail detectability down to 50nm, the Nanotom HR reveals the smallest details with clarity.
- Sub-micron voxel resolution → resolve microstructures and fine features invisible to conventional CT.
- 300nm focal spot performance → fewer repeats, higher consistency, and trust in every scan.
- Granite-based manipulator → vibration-free stability for scientifically reliable, repeatable data.
For researchers, this means confidently resolving microstructures, porosities, and fine features beyond the reach of conventional CT. For manufacturers, it means sharper, more stable data that accelerates discovery, speeds validation, and ensures quality at the highest level.
FIELD OF VIEW
More sample, same clarity.
The Phoenix Nanotom HR combines a large-area detector with a precision-optimised geometry to extend the visible field of view while maintaining sub-micron capabilities.
- Enables side-by-side analysis of multiple features in one dataset.
- Reduces the need for destructive sectioning or repeated scans.
- Improves data consistency by keeping resolution uniform across wider areas.
By expanding what fits into a single scan, the Nanotom HR allows users to capture larger regions of interest without sacrificing resolution — providing a more complete picture of complex structures.
EFFORTLESS OPERATION
Ease of use that works for you
Designed to eliminate complexity, so you can focus on results - not setup.
- Intuitive software interface for simplified operation
- Automatic focal spot alignment
- Front-opening door and CNC controls
With the Nanotom HR, ease of use goes beyond the interface. Training is faster, workflows are intuitive, and teams can get up to speed quickly - even in today's dynamic workforce environment.
RESOLUTION AT SPEED
Keep the detail - cut the time.
Experience ultra-high resolution at unmatched speeds when compared to optical magnification technology.
- 120min → 40min at 0.5µm voxel
- 60min → 10min at 1.0µm voxel
By pairing speed with precision, you gain faster results, quicker R&D cycles, and accelerated production quality checks. Faster scans mean faster insights and more time for innovation.
