Our single-photon-counting cameras allow for the creation of detailed X-ray material-sensitive images that reveal the internal composition of various food items, including fruits, vegetables, and grains.
ADVACAM‘s technology enables fast real-time inspection of qualities typically hidden to the naked eye. For example, sprouts – an indicator of potential growth – can be clearly identified in a detailed X-ray of a tomato seed. If these sprouts are absent, it suggests that the seed is unlikely to germinate.
Our imaging technology also allows for early detection and characterization of crop yield. For instance, as a cereal plant develops, X-ray imaging can reveal the ear grains even when they are still growing through the stem and not visible externally. Individual ears and the prospective number of grains can be predicted, allowing for early yield estimation – a critical factor in plant breeding.
It is possible to view various types of food through their packaging using non-destructive testing and thus monitor quality.
