The Macro CT Scanner enables non-destructive three-dimensional imaging of internal sample structures.
Typical applications include:
- Plant structure analysis and phenotyping
- Seed and root structure imaging
- Internal structure visualization of biological samples
- Microstructural analysis of materials
