xradia make a range of very high tech CT scanners coupled with proprietary X-ray optics. Sure you’ll probably never need one, nor will they be used on you, but have a look at some of their images, especially the bone tomography. It’s not just life sciences either CT microscopy also helps develop complex semiconductor structures and other advanced materials. The photo above is a rat’s knee bone.

Xradia develops technology to help advance innovation in science and industry by providing unique insight through superior X-ray imaging solutions. Our products utilize advanced X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging methodology and optics to nondestructively produce 3D images of objects with exceptional spatial resolution and contrast.
