X-ray CT System for Observation of Capsules

Introduction

Industrial X-ray CT systems have long been used for inspection and structural analysis of a wide range of manufactured products, including electronic parts, automobile parts, plastic products, etc. Recently, however, they are also proving useful for observation of the internal structures of pharmaceutical products such as tablets and granules. Here, using an X-ray CT system which allows even more detailed internal observation, we introduce image data of a granule- filled gelatin drug capsule. The images were taken using the SMX-160CTS sub-microfocus X-ray CT system.
