X4 POSEIDON App Notes
5 Phenotyping and Screening of Drosophila Melanogaster (Fruit Fly)
Fruit flies, specifically Drosophila melanogaster, are extensively used in biomedical research due to their genetic simplicity and rapid life cycle.
Titanium Orthopedic Implants in Sheep Bone
Orthopedic research involves investigation of the performance of bone implants such as titanium or steel screws, as well as scaffolds of various materials from metals to calcium phosphate to resorbable polymers.
MicroCT Imaging of Sheep Proximal Femur
MicroCT is a powerful tool for evaluating the intricate microarchitecture of bones, offering high-resolution imaging and quantitative analysis of trabecular and cortical bone structures.
MicroCT Imaging of Dental Models
MicroCT is one of the most advanced methods for gaining 3D insights into samples of any material and shape non-destructively, with little to no sample preparation.
2 Imaging and Analysis of Dental Restorations and Fillings
MicroCT has become an indispensable tool in dental research, providing high-resolution, non-destructive imaging capabilities that allow for detailed examination of tooth structures and dental restorations.
7 3D Non-Destructive Analysis of Zebrafish
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have become a prominent model organism in biomedical research due to their genetic similarity to humans, rapid development, and transparency during early life stages.
6 Analysis of Annual Growth Rings in Wood Cores
MicroCT is a non-destructive imaging technique that provides high-resolution, three-dimensional visualizations of wood’s internal structures.
MicroCT Imaging of Plant Materials
MicroCT has revolutionized plant research by providing a non-destructive means to explore complex internal structures in three dimensions.
3 Imaging of kidney microstructure and blood vessel network
MicroCT or micro-computed tomography, is a game-changer for researchers across various fields.
MicroCT Imaging of Grape Seeds
Seeds are vital components of agricultural ecosystems and global food security, making their study crucial for enhancing crop yield, quality, and resistance to environmental stressors.
Morphometric Analysis of Mouse Femoral Bone
The X4 POSEIDON is a very capable microCT platform that can do both high resolution and fast acquisition of samples, something which is extremely valuable in bone morphometry research.
MicroCT Imaging of Thick Bovine Cortical Bone
Bone and mineral research traverses imaging and analysis of bone samples ranging from small mouse bones to large mammal bones and teeth.
Fish Otolith Growth Rings Imaging with MicroCT
All teleost fishes possess three otoliths (the saccule, utricle, and lagena) located just below the brain (Traczyk et al 2022). Densely calcified otoliths give the fish balance and inertial data on how it is moving in the water, similarly to the inner ear bones in mammals.
Benchtop MicroCT - Evaluating Mouse Embryos
Mouse embryos are pivotal in biomedical research due to their genetic and physiological similarities to humans. They serve as models for studying developmental processes, genetic disorders, and congenital anomalies.
Submicron Imaging of Bone Osteocytes and Vessels
Submicron imaging of mineralised bone opens the field of ultra-structural analysis of bone including the distribution of osteocyte lacunae (spaces) and blood vessel canals.
Imaging of fossil ammonites and shark teeth
MicroCT imaging is limited only by size and X-ray opacity of samples, and the X4 POSEIDON in its dual X-ray detector configuration is able to achieve excellent scan results with large dense samples as well as high resolution at submicron voxel sizes for smaller samples.
Marine animal shells
By providing high-resolution, three-dimensional images of internal and external structures, microCT has become a pivotal tool for researchers
studying marine organisms such as snails, seashells, and other calcified specimens.
