Planar computed tomography is a special procedure of computed tomography for the high resolution X-ray inspection of large-scale flat components.
Planar computed tomography is employed for testing of assembled printed circuit boards (PCBs), semiconductor components in power electronics, or assemblies made of compound materials. It allows examination of selected two-dimensional layers to detect cracks, flaws, and delamination.

Recommended microfocus X-ray tubes for planar computed tomography
For planar computed tomography we recommend our microfocus X-ray tubes of the product lines THE, THE Plus, and TCHE Plus with transmission target. For inspection at higher energies we recommend the product line SE with reflection target.
