Luxel Corporation
http://www.luxel.com
For over 35 years, Luxel Corporation has been the preeminent supplier of ultrathin freestanding films used in soft x-ray and EUV regions. Researchers using microscopy beamlines at the nation's synchrotron light sources require specimen holders that can control the sample environment in order to investigate materials in their natural state or under controlled experimental conditions. Many samples such as soil, cement, or biological specimens, are best studied in a wet or hydrated state. However, there exist no standard sample holders for the in situ study of hydrated materials optimized for these techniques.
Luxel has developed a standardized wet sample holder for x-ray microscopy optimized for three-dimensional imaging. Ultra thin polymer windows are held apart by a micrometer-scale support structure forming a chamber that enables x-ray microscopy of the sample, retains hydration over several hours, limits extraneous background scattering effects, and affords free rotation of the sample in the x-ray beam.

This led to the first micro-CT imaging results being obtained in 1983-1987 and published in scientific journals and international conferences proceedings. Building on this early work, SkyScan was founded in 1996, and within a year we were manufacturing a commercially available micro-CT scanner with spatial resolution in the micron range. In 2001 we produced the first high-resolution in-vivo micro-CT scanner for small animal imaging. And in 2005 SkyScan became the world's first supplier of a laboratory nano-CT scanner with submicron spatial resolution. Responding to demand from the growing community of micro-CT users, we are continually active in research and development into new methods for non-destructive 3D microscopy.
