Reveal the undiscovered secrets of your sample in 3D

This birch seed was collected in London by Rob Kessler. Rob and Louise Hughes used Unity to discover its secrets.

And here are the incredible results produced from analysing the birch seed with our Unity detector. We were particularly excited to obtain detailed elemental maps on 3D surfaces, and seeing the unexpected small spheres of iron and aluminium was a fascinating discovery.

As well as the speed with which the data is captured and analysed, the unique design of Unity allows us to study such large and highly topographical samples in a short space of time. Utilising the combination of backscattered electron imaging with the compositional X-ray signal accelerates the identification of regions of interest or unusual features, fundamentally changing the way we survey our samples.
