Xnovo Technology and Exciscope Announce Partnership to Unveil First Laboratory-Based X-ray Tensor Tomography Solution
Press Release: Copenhagen, Denmark – Xnovo Technology ApS, a pioneer in advanced X-ray imaging solutions, reveals a strategic partnership with Sweden-based Exciscope AB. This collaboration aims to introduce the world’s first laboratory-based X-ray tensor tomography technique, branded FiberScanner3D, available on the Exciscope Polaris platform.
Breaking Boundaries in Materials Science
The FiberScanner3D module, a result of collaborative innovation with the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland, utilizes patented grating technology to bring forth a breakthrough in the high-throughput mapping of directional X-ray scattering. This module enables non-destructive 3D anisotropic structure characterization and analysis of fibrous samples, beyond the imaging resolution limits of conventional X-ray CT systems.
This technology provides access to fiber orientation and fiber alignment information without directly resolving the underlying microstructures. As a result, it opens new horizons for characterizing large-scale samples and production components, as well as for assessing their mechanical performance, and for empowering the predictive design of materials.
Expanding Applications in Materials Science and Beyond
With applications spanning from the manufacturing of sustainable materials like natural and synthetic fiber composites to biological systems exhibiting highly anisotropic structures, FiberScanner3D represents a significant leap forward in analytical imaging methods. Notably, it brings X-ray tensor tomography out of synchrotron imaging facilities and into the laboratory, expanding its accessibility and applicability.
A Visionary Partnership
Lars Romson, CEO of Exciscope, commented, “Exciscope is committed to delivering world-leading lab-based phase-contrast imaging solutions. Our collaboration with Xnovo is enhancing analytical capabilities for our Exciscope Polaris platform that align with the evolving needs of our customers in biomedical research, materials science, and beyond.”
Erik Lauridsen, CEO and founder of Xnovo Technology, expressed enthusiasm, stating, “Xnovo excels at bringing synchrotron-level imaging methods to the lab, and our partnership with Exciscope is yet another testament to our commitment. FiberScanner3D has the potential to bring materials science into a new stage of rapid, reliable, and robust fiber structure characterization.”
