Have you ever pondered the wondrous journey of life, from conception to birth? At Comet Yxlon, we are proud to support the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin in their quest to answer this profound question through the innovative application of CT technology.
By chance, we recently encountered a phenomenon together with a customer that we had not paid attention to before. An apparently resolved X-ray image turned out to be a fake. A simulation model proved the mystery.

The Dragonfly Deep-Learning, super-resolution model takes the input of poor resolution scans to create superior image quality results – almost like the high-resolution images but without the need to scan at high resolution!
Learn about this significant advantage!
High-resolution CT of a 3D-printed plastic impeller by the YXLON FF35 CT Metrology system provides clear insights into the inner structures and accurate results. What about the capabilities of YXLON UX20 with the new MesoFocus tube?
The early determination of the quality of a motor using CT before further processing would save time, resources, material, and costs, an economic factor that should not be underestimated within the steadily increasing demand for electromobility.
When we look for the optimal flat-panel detector, it’s not all about the highest possible resolution. Christian Jeuschede explains why we still stick to 139 µm respectively 150 µm pixel pitch instead of 100 µm and what to have in mind when chosing the best fit.
Kathy Scott, Service Sales Director at Yxlon/Comet Technologies USA knows that service matters. With her long experience, she knows service should rate nearly as high in the decision to purchase an inspection system as the system itself.
One might think a measurement using the same calibrated tool would have the same accuracy regardless of the object being measured. But metrology is more than that, as the whitepaper “Uncertainty of measurement” will show.
Microlaunchers are an alternative to conventional launch vehicles. They are designed to launch small satellites into space. Fraunhofer IWS and the TU in Dresden developed an additively manufactured rocket engine.
The gold standard for 3D measurement equipment is the DIN EN ISO 10360 Geometrical Product Specification (GPS). It is designed to help compare different equipment and create a clear understanding of when a system is within the specification and when
One might think a measurement using the same calibrated tool would have the same accuracy regardless of the object being measured. But metrology is more than that, as the whitepaper “Uncertainty of measurement” will show.
The Institute for Plastics Technology in Stuttgart (IKT) shows several examples to demonstrate how computed tomography supports the development of new materials and additive manufacturing processes.
There is a range of terminology for CT system accuracy and uncertainty that should be understood when evaluating 3D scanning systems, this blog post illustrates terms, such as Precision and Accuracy, Tolerance, Uncertainty of Measurement.
Evolution still raises many questions for science. Prof. Dr. John Nyakatura and his young team of junior scientists are focusing on the functional morphology of vertebrates and trying to track down the evolution of early primates.
Electromobility brings with it new challenges. New components require new test methods to ensure functionality and safety. In a joint project, the Fraunhofer IFAM and Yxlon have succeeded for the first time looking into the inside of cast rotors.
TEI is a global leader in design, engineering and manufacturing for prototype, pre-production and mass production equipment for the casting industry. They invested in new, advanced technologies including 3D printing, CT and X-ray inspection.
In an extensive development project from the automotive industry, it once again became clear that x-ray computed tomography supports in research & development as well as in the elaboration of production processes and helps to save time and money.
X-ray inspection for electronics has been around for decades, but that does not mean it has stayed the same. As the design and manufacturing for electronics shifts to smaller and more compact and dense products, X-ray technology has shifted as well.
The growth of the orthopedics market poses a huge opportunity for Industrial Computed Tomography (CT) as a quality inspection tool for this highly regulated industry, where quality ...
Starting out mainly as a prototyping technology Additive Manufacturing (AM) gained tremendous momentum for use in industrial applications over the last 5 years. For highly demanding functional parts, laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) became ...
The Zoological Museum in the Center for Natural History at the University of Hamburg is currently running a special exhibition about the tragic phenomenon of disappearing species in the animal kingdom.
At the end of July, YXLON International, a company of the Swiss tech holding COMET Group, lent one of their state-of-the-art computed tomography systems to the California Academy of Sciences to experience the benefits of CT in biological research.
An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device primarily used as an electronic switch developed to combine high efficiency and fast switching.
In an exclusive webinar, Peter Kramm, YXLON Senior Product Manager, discusses the revolutionary computed tomography technology found in the YXLON FF20 CT and ...
Abigail Curtis, a postdoctoral fellow at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, demonstrates how computed tomography reveals unexpected scientific insights into bat physiology.
In a recent CT Science Days event, Dr. Edward Stanley, PhD of herpetology, of the California Academy of Sciences, discussed how researchers are using computed tomography to study reptiles and amphibians and strengthen their collaboration.
When computers take over for humans in most futuristic science fiction movies, the outcomes are usually bad for people. However, when it comes to automated defect recognition (ADR) in real world non-destructive testing, it can be a life saver.
