Microcomputed Tomography Next Door to T. Rex TRISTAN
YXLON enters cooperation with the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin
(PresseBox) - As part of a newly concluded cooperation agreement, Yxlon provides the Museum fll of Microscopes behind the famous Tristan Room. The flood of visitors who come to see TRISTAN, the first of two original Tyrannosaurus Rex skeletons in Europe, can then look forward to the next attraction one door further: From the so-called Visitor?s Gallery, they not only have the opportunity to view original exhibits such as skull and body skeletons of mammals, fossil specimens from different rock layers with inclusions and highly diverse preservation techniques, drilling samples with mineral particles, contrasted reptiles and amphibians as well as nailed insects. They can also experience live how CT analyses of these specimens are performed.
Museums are increasingly utilizing non-destructive computed tomography not only for scientific research in areas such as evolution, paleontology or paleoecology ? the digitalization of billions of specimens in natural and human history institutes globally is growing in significance. One reason for this is that digitalization can be used to examine valuable research specimens in detail, without having to put them at risk through handling. What is more, the digital objects can be made available to scientists throughout the entire world. This exchange between researchers across the globe not only enables new and innovative research methods but also safeguards preservation and archiving for the future. The Museum f
High resolution is indispensable for the best reconstruction and visualization. With its dual tube technology, comprising a 225 kV microfocus tube and 190 kV nanofocus tube, the FF35-CT system provides the highest resolution with a degree of detail down to 150 nm, in conjunction with the special Yxlon flat detector. The use of Helix and Dual-Helix CT enables even large objects up to 50 cm height and 30 cm diameter to be scanned with high resolution. The problem of adequate contrasting is encountered especially when it comes to the resolution of structures in low-contrast soft tissue such as organs, muscles and fat cells. A central task of the Museum fnsects) are also some of the challenges that Yxlon and the museum will tackle in their cooperation, with the joint goal of specially optimizing computed tomography for the field of life sciences, while ensuring they are ideally prepared for the requirements of digital archiving of biological specimens.

YXLON International develops and manufactures X-ray and CT test systems for diverse applications and industries. Whether in aerospace, the automotive or electronics industry, our customers include some of the largest manufacturers who rely on our quality worldwide.
CT systems have been integral to our product portfolio since 2003. Computed tomography offers three-dimensional insights into test items and samples, this typically enabling the analysis of inner structures, dimensional measurements or target-actual comparisons of CAD data. Computed tomography has become increasingly important especially for the development of new materials and new production methods, as well as in the life science field - which means CT systems are set to be used widely not only in manufacturing industry but also in ever more scientific institutions.
With our Head Office in Hamburg plus sales and service locations in Yokohama, Hudson (Ohio), San Jose (California), Beijing, Shanghai, Hattingen and Heilbronn, coupled with a network of representatives in over 50 countries, we as YXLON have a local presence for our customers worldwide.
YXLON International has been part of the COMET Group since 2007.
