You caught the real essence of this photo - the resolution.

It is a X-ray microCT system with a 10MP CCD camera.

Maximum resolution 1.5 micron pixel size, or 5 micron low contrast resolution :)

Unfortunately maximum specimen size is 50mm x 60mm x 60mm.

Full resolution of available space generates up to 50+ GB data per specimen :)

CT photos coming :)9

 

Sorry for bubbling in geekish...

 

neat, so it's a combo x-ray/ct machine?! can't wait to see your ct pics...:o

 

:eureka: may have to bribe one of the ct techs to scan my pens, unfortunately i think the images can only routinely reconstruct down to 1.25mm slices. i'll see if i can reformat the data on a workstation to render some interesting views...

Parker 51 Special with the breather tube was removed. This is a machine that has a great resolution capability (down to 1/20 of the diameter of human hair) but the sample size is limited (50mmx50mmx50mm), so the breather tube did not fit in the field of view. I will get back "soon" with more pictures.

 

DWL check here for a hand+pen x-ray.

Thats just freakin' AWESOME! Thanks bud.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
