Abnormal grain growth may occur at elevated temperatures in materials such as metals and ceramics. This is undesirable as it limits the lifetime of components. To overcome abnormal grain growth, secondary-phase particles can be added during fabricati… Read more

When most conferences have either been cancelled, postponed or gone virtual, the ZEISS Microscopy Insights Hub offers everyone the unique opportunity to learn about microscopy and its applications at home and on demand. Two webinars featuring LabDCT,… Read more

It’s a pleasure to welcome Tiago Ramos to the Xnovo team. Tiago holds a PhD from DTU Energy, where he developed numerical algorithms for image data analysis in different complimentary X-ray modalities used to characterize energy materials. He has a b… Read more

In the steel processing industry it is of the utmost importance to both detect and understand potential microstructural heterogeneities caused by the various processing steps. The heterogeneities are often observed at substantially larger length scal… Read more

We are proud to announce the release of GrainMapper3D version 2.2, which is even faster and more intuitive than it’s predecessor. Through the LabDCT™ module for the ZEISS Xradia 520/620 Versa X-ray Microscopes, GrainMapper3D version 2.2 gives access… Read more

Researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and Xnovo Technology ApS have developed a novel x-ray imaging technology for the efficient characterization of fiber orientations within fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) components. First results of ap… Read more

Olivine is the dominating mineral in the earth’s upper mantle – the first layer beneath the surface crust. It is also common in some extraterrestrial meteorites and holds promise for carbon dioxide sequestration through mineral reaction. Overall an i… Read more
