## Description
The College of Life & Environmental Sciences require the purchase of a micro-computed tomography (CT) scanner, for use primarily by the Palaeobiology research group for the analysis of fossils. The CT scanner that is sought is from a single supplier, Nikon, due to the unique setup of this system including two interchangeable reflection and rotating X-ray sources. The group does not currently have access to CT scanning facilities within the University of Birmingham. Current scanning is done at other facilities within the UK, which is not practical for many requirements, and there are no facilities within the UK that can facilitate some required experimental setups. This CT scanner represents new technology, including the latest in X-ray generation technology and next-generation panel detectors providing superior imaging.
