X- ray concept
X-ray technology provides a detailed view of inside
parts. The radiation is generated by a micro-focus source and emitted
through the sample. A digital flatpanel detector is used to capture
patterns of X-rays that pass through a specimen, showing different
shades of gray depending on material and geometry. Thicker or denser
material – such as iron, copper and lead – represent
darker areas than thin or light materials such as plastic, paper
or air.

Computer Tomography concept
CT offers that extra dimension to X-ray technology.
Based on a large number of X-ray images captured around a single
axis of rotation, CT reconstructs an accurate 3D volume dataset
that represents the internal structure of your sample. Viewed as
slices in any orientation or as a 3D scene, the inner part is visualized
and enables you to explore all the details of the object.
