Microscopy is a key tool in the examination of medical devices as it produces high contrast images used to spot small imperfections on the surface of samples.

In the dental segment, it is vital to verify correct positioning and orientation of dentures on prostheses. Geometric information allows the fine-tuning of individual designs before the manufacture process.

High-contrast digital imaging makes it easy to examine surfaces of catheters and surgical blade prototypes for small imperfections using specialized microscopes.

With medical devices failure is not an option. X-ray and CT face no limitations by looking inside key components and critical assemblies to verify dimensions.

Automated non-contact video automatically takes measurements on larger series of complex medical components, keeping pace with demanding production schedules.

Material researchers are developing bone implants made of titanium foam and CT investigation is able to visualize and quantify the bone in-growth.
