Observation

and Observation of internal defects, Measurement of internal structure

Measurement

These instruments allow the non-destructive observation of the interior of products, such as
resin products, using X-rays to check for defects, such as voids, and to check the internal state.
They are effective for quality control and failure analysis.

■Internal observation of bottle caps
The state of the sealing between a glass
bottle and its resin cap can be checked by
displaying any cross section desired. Also,
gaps in the sealing and resin bubbles can
be observed and measured using 3D
•Microfocus X-ray CT System SMX-130CT-SV display.
Internal tomograms and 3D images of sample interiors can be obtained easily without destroying the
samples. Non-destructive shape observation, dimension measurement, and density observation of
sample interiors makes this system effective for failure analysis and quality control.

•Microfocus X-ray CT System SMX-225CT-SV ■ICT image of GFRP (fiber diameter: 18 µm)
This system uses micro x-rays with focus dimensions of 4µm and sample interiors can be viewed with
magnification factors ranging from 3 to 65 or, by changing the system configuration and using image
processing, more than 260. CT (computerized tomography) images and 3D images can be obtained easily.

•Microfocus X-ray TV System
SMX-130
Ideal for the evaluation and measurement of
the internal structure of engineering plastics,
fine ceramics, and composite materials.

■Fluoroscopic image of microswitch
The state of microswitch contacts can be
observed (e.g., for whiskers)
