Studying dental restorations with the new X4 POSEIDON micro-CT

The X4 POSEIDON modular micro-CT system offers researchers superior insights into the microstructure of teeth and dental restorations. Micro-CT provides 3-dimensional imaging on a small scale with very high resolution, with no sample preparation or slicing. The internal structure of tissue and the internal adaptation of materials to surfaces

Multiscale X-ray Microscopic Examination of a Snapdragon Seed Pod (Antirrhinum)

The propagation of plants through their clever use of seeds is well studied in academia and useful in biomimicry applications. While most seeds have evolved distinct characteristics to help ensure the survival of each species, pods left behind that are full of seeds after the blooms fall from a

Multiscale X-ray Microscopic Examination of Cacao

While chocolate is synonymous with the month of February, we wanted to take a deeper dive into understanding the process of chocolate manufacturing. At the same time, we took this opportunity to compare the SkyScan 1272, SkyScan 1273, and Bruker’s newest instrument, the X4 Poseidon Modular Micro-CT system.

Utilizing Micro-CT to Study the Evolution of Bats
