The Computer Tomography Laboratory at the Estonian University of Life Sciences' Institute of Technology was officially opened on November 9, 2017. The laboratory includes the X-ray computer tomography scanner, YXLON FF35 CT, manufactured by the German company YXLON International GmbH. The system has two different powers of the X-ray tube: 190kV and 225kV. This configuration allows the device to be applied in a wider range of test specimens for desired precision. Full version of the VG Studio software package is used for the data analysis. |

| The laboratory focuses in technology and engineering problems. Certainly, different companies and organizations dealing with casting are interested in using X-ray CT scanners. The laboratory is first of its kind in Estonia. In addition to single part bodies, it is possible to observe, control the dynamics of mechanisms or sub-mechanisms in real-life situations, without the need to disassemble or modify the assembly in any other way. As an interesting fact, one of the most commonly used areas of computed tomography is the use of rare historical objects, bones, and so on, digital archiving of objects. Need to see what's happening inside a product, a detail, an object, and it's worth considering the possibilities of tomography. |  |
