*source: I work with two of the machines here: https://www.bruker.com/en/products-and-solutions/microscopes... (and one more from Bruker which is so old that they don't show it on their website anymore).
I presume you're not scanning biological material with such a high acceleration voltage, so I'd look into NDT systems from https://www.nikonmetrology.com/en-us/x-ray-ct or https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/en/products/x-ray-microscop...
Good resolution is also important. Say I want to analyze something the size of a can of soup and get to tens of microns resolution.
Zeiss and Nikon are not cheap options. Is anyone out there bringing the cost down?
Usually bundled for the user, but can be completely separated.

The Bruker machine I use can do ~15 cm diameter samples at ~40 um voxel size, so that’s something that should be possible with any machines.

MicroCT machines are not cheap, but - as I’ve seen from our buying process - all in the same ballpark. You might not need your own machine, but use a ‘supplier’ for CT Scans in a case-to-case basis.
