X-Ray Microscope Leasing for Labs

High-resolution, non-destructive 3D imaging—without tying up your budget. Lease the X-ray system that fits your workflow.

What Is an X-Ray Microscope?

X-ray microscopes use soft or hard X-rays to generate high-resolution images of internal sample structures without sectioning. They’re widely used in materials science, semiconductor analysis, geology, and biological research.

Why Lease an X-Ray Microscope?

X-ray microscopes enable non-invasive, nanoscale imaging of internal structures—but with X-ray sources, detectors, shielding, and environmental controls, they can be among the most capital-intensive imaging tools available.

Excedr offers flexible leasing options to help your lab access advanced X-ray microscopy technology—without the upfront financial strain.

Where Leasing an X-Ray Microscope Adds Value

X-ray microscopes offer high-resolution, non-destructive imaging of internal structures—ideal for materials science, failure analysis, and structural biology. But acquiring these advanced systems often requires significant capital investment and long procurement cycles.

Leasing can be a smart choice when:

  • You’re analyzing materials at the nanoscale—Access internal imaging without funding delays.
  • You’re scaling research or core facilities—Deploy high-performance systems without straining budgets.
  • You’re running complex assays or failure analysis—Upgrade quickly as detection or throughput needs grow.

Whether characterizing materials or exploring biological structure, leasing an X-ray microscope delivers advanced imaging—without capital roadblocks.

Helping Scientists Scale & Succeed

"We used Excedr when it was time for us to make a large capital equipment purchase and the whole leasing process was smooth, quick, and seamless.

As a busy start-up CEO, I am always aware of how important it is to keep our science progressing while on a tight budget.

Working with Excedr made it possible for us to accelerate our scientific discovery pipeline without a large outlay of capital."

"Building a biotech is a lot of work. Excedr has been a dynamite partner in making that scaling happen.

They were a great partner when scaling Distributed Bio from an 8 member lab team to 35 members by the time of acquisition. When I started Centivax, Jon was one of the first people I called.

I recommend them for any biotech startup."

"Securing top-tier lab equipment while managing cash flow is a constant challenge. Excedr has been an invaluable partner in helping KiraGen Bio access the high-quality instrumentation we need without the heavy upfront costs.

Their flexible leasing options and outstanding support allow us to focus on advancing our research rather than worrying about equipment procurement and maintenance. For any biotech startup looking to scale efficiently, I can’t recommend Excedr enough."

Co-Founder & CEO, KiraGen Bio

"Excedr helped us to finance a BLI system about a year ago. Sylvia did an excellent job at helping us to understand our options, since our company was new to equipment financing.

The leasing process was fast and easy when compared with self-funding our purchase, plus the speed and ease with which Excedr onboarded us freed up our team’s time to focus on research and grant management.

The lease of our Zeiss EVO10 electron microscope has significantly impacted our outside analysis costs, realizing a significant savings in the 1st year.

Having the instrument on-site has greatly improved our response times to field issues and fabrication challenges, while improving our Engineering and Production Teams' overall understanding of our product lines."
