June 5, 2006 — Xradia Inc., a developer and manufacturer of high-resolution x-ray imaging systems for 3D tomography and nanotechnology applications, announced it has been awarded a $2 million contract from the Argonne National Laboratory’s Center for Nanoscale Materials.
The contract calls for the design and engineering of a high resolution hard x-ray nanoprobe instrument for 30nm high-resolution elemental and structural analysis using scanning probe and full-field transmission x-ray microscopy. The nanoprobe instrument will be installed at Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source as part of a joint development effort between Argonne’s Center for Nanoscale Materials and its’ Advanced Photon Source.
