The exhibition ‘Curious Mummies: From the Champollions to the Synchrotron’, created by Caroline Dugand and Laure Antunes for the Champollion Museum in Vif, traces the evolution of research into ancient Egyptian mummies and how they are perceived. From the physical analyses of the Champollion brothers to 21st-century virtual analyses, several
The e-col+ project, led by the National Museum of Natural History, aims to showcase France’s natural history collections through digitisation. By establishing 3D digitisation workflows and developing artificial intelligence tools, the project enables researchers to utilize and enrich these resources. NOVITOM was selected to provide outsourced microtomography services. High-resolution scans
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
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
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to map the topology (i.e. profilometry) of the cuticle while measuring the mechanical properties of adhesion and Young’s modulus in the same area, with nanometric measurement steps. These measurements are used to assess the quality of the cuticle and its adhesion properties. Images obtained
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
On September 13, 2023, Rigaku hosted an episode of its Ask the Expert webinar series, featuring Dr. Awen Autret, R&D Engineer at Novitom. The session, titled “Virtual Tomography – Optimizing Data Acquisition Parameters Without a CT Scanner”, explored how advanced simulation can accelerate and enhance X-ray CT imaging workflows. Dr.
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
Novitom and Xploraytion attended the 12th International Conference on Industrial Computed Tomography (iCT2023) that took place in March 2023 Fürth Germany. We were delighted to present recent work with an oral presentation and a poster. And we enjoyed lively discussions with the participants! Novi-Sim is a X ray radiography and
