There are many applications of microCT in scanning small insects and small animals, for positive identification of their species and 3D visualization of internal and small structures, where traditional microscopy sometimes fails to produce good images. This is an example of a shrimp, with 3D views, a slice view and some measurements of limb lengths, …

Have you ever wondered how a pill looks like on the inside? In this example, a headache capsule from a leading pharmaceuticals company was scanned to demonstrate the internal packing and density variations. This kind of inspection could be useful to optimize production, limit the inclusion of metallic or other dense particles and ensure even distribution of …

A simple example of the X-ray imaging capabilities of this technology is with a normal filament-type light bulb. A digital X-ray image (obtained in a few minutes) is shown, providing useful information on the location of different materials and providing an inside view, though in 2D only. This type of imaging is a standard NDT …

A microCT scanner is a precision dimensional measurement device, making it possible for example to measure the volume of wine inside a closed bottle of 1963 South African sweet wine (Port). The images illustrate the bottle (semi-transparent), the lead neck cover (green), the wine (dark red) and the air in the neck of the …
