Metris releases a variant for the industrial 225kV micro-focus X-ray source featuring a rotating reflection target that drastically increases overall CT scanning performance. By establishing up to 5 times more X-ray flux, customers can either speed up data acquisition by a similar factor or increase data accuracy by taking more radiographs in the same time. Read more here
Researchers of the renowned Natural History Museum in London investigate diverse natural specimens using a Metris micro-CT scanner installed earlier this year. Stunning 3D visualizations of the interior structure of fossils, animals, rocks and meteorites enable them to acquire ground-breaking insight into mineral sedimentary deposits and the evolution of animal anatomy.

Industrial material researchers at the National Research Council Canada (NRC) investigate titanium foam plugs that have been implanted into rabbits. After six weeks, they operate a Metris XT H industrial CT-scanner to visualize bone ingrowth into the porous titanium foam implants. Fast reconstruction of volumetric images enables the researchers to accurately trace where and to what extent bone structure has penetrated into the porous implant. Read full story
