Microtomography enables the non-destructive detection and 3D visualization of cracks. It accurately quantifies the size, shape, and volume of cracks, including their propagation depth. This volumetric measurement capability allows for the assessment of structural integrity, the monitoring of degradation progression, and the optimization of materials. Essential in R&D, it helps
Searching for clues leading to the authentication of a work of art is a complex process that requires consideration of all aspects of the work, including artistic and historical aspects, of course, but also the materials used. For statues, the difficulty lies in the fact that the interior is not
High-resolution, high-energy X-ray tomography provides non-destructive access to the entire part, including internal areas that are inaccessible to other techniques. NOVITOM has developed an algorithm for comparing the CAD part with the volume reconstructed by tomography obtained on the manufactured part. The image next to this text is a 3D
Why perform microtomography during tensile/compression tests with NOVI CT Rig? The use of microtomography during tensile/compression tests enables the impact of stresses on the microstructure of a sample to be visualised in 3D and in real time, so that macroscopic mechanical properties or morphological changes can be understood and then
X-ray diffraction reveals the structural organisation of the intercorneocyte lipids in the stratum corneum X-ray microdiffraction (µXRD) unveils the structural organization of the intercorneocyte lipids in the stratum corneum : Lamellar stacking (SAXS) => layer thickness and organization quality Crystalline and fluid structures inside the lipid layers (WAXS) => hexagonal/orthorhombic/amorphous
A recent study conducted by Xploraytion, Novitom, Merck, and their partners demonstrates how synchrotron X-ray microtomography (SR-µCT) is transforming the analysis of pharmaceutical tablets. Published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics, this study shows how the internal structures of tablets can be visualized in 3D and in real time. The
Which phenomena are decisive in oral drug release from coated tablets? Key findings from a research work by Univ. Lille, INSERM, CHU Lille, Novitom, Merck Sharp & Dohme Through dynamic microtomography, the study revealed the existence of air-filled pores in the core of coated pellets . When the liquid penetrates,
We are enthusiastic to announce the first industrial use by Novitom of the 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗫-𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗫𝗥𝗣𝗗) 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 at 𝗘𝗦𝗥𝗙. Further, we have used it for non-standard powders as samples were metals’ sheets ! X-ray diffraction provides valuable insights into the crystalline structure, phase composition, and purity of
We are delighted to see achievements of a multidisciplinary hard work in the open publication by Clémence Iacconi et al. revealing the “the extraordinary diversity of the textiles, as well as the presence of very rare tablet-woven textiles, hitherto known only from a handful of burials from the period [Iron
Novitom has developed an original test based on the analysis of the quality of the organisation of collagen fibres. Collagen, which is the main constituent of the dermis, largely determines its flexibility during aging. Two techniques are combined: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides spectacular images of the fibres in varying
