A particular challenge is the correct analysis of microparticles inside medical glass ampoules. When the vials are opened, glass breakage often occurs, which can get into the analysis and falsify the result. To solve the problem, our team has developed a new process to non-destructively detect foreign particles in glass ampoules.
Bruker microCT has published a very interesting video about the new 3D X-ray microscope SkyScan 2214. The video shows the amazing possibilities of non-destructive 3D imaging down to the sub-micrometer range.
For the latest generation of SkyScan micro-CT devices, Bruker has developed a special scan mode for samples with a high aspect ratio. Objects of this type are characterized by a high ratio of length to width and repeatedly pose challenges for users of microtomography.
With the new SkyScan 1273, Bruker presents a high-resolution X-Ray 3D microscope for large samples in table top format. XXL objects up to 50 cm x 30 cm can be accommodated in the measuring chamber, the largest field of view is 25 cm x 25 cm.
Our customer Dr. Arnold Staniczek and his team from the State Museum of Natural History in Stuttgart recently achieved a scientific sensation.
The new nano-CT from the SkyScan family impresses with its excellent optical resolution of less than 0.5 µm and a wide range of applications.
A look inside an insect skull – what zoologists used to only be able to do with a histological examination can now be easily realized using microtomography with multiple magnification and a 3D view. We examined the sample shown here in a SkyScan 1272 micro-CT with a resolution of 1 µm/voxel.
A medication, for example a painkiller, should work reliably and always release the active ingredient within a certain period of time. A decisive factor for this is the active ingredient content and reproducible release kinetics. With a micro-CT we can scan tablets non-destructively.
The discovery of a mummy or unique artifacts from human history is a sensation because they form part of the cultural heritage. However, for many investigations it is necessary to damage the object, for example in the form of taking a sample, and the preservation of the find for science is no longer guaranteed. For several years now, researchers have had access to a method called X-ray microtomography that enables non-destructive investigations.
