Seed X-ray Imaging has emerged as an essential tool for the non-destructive and non-invasive assessment of seeds for those in the seed science and crop science industries.
Plant conservationists, genetic researchers, and species management experts are increasingly using X-ray imaging as a tool to identify internal defects and exterior micro-defects, detect insect infestations, and monitor tissue deterioration.
Seed banks, government agencies, and other crop science organizations are particularly drawn to XPERT® and PARAMETER® product families due to their high-resolution and high-throughput capabilities.
Those assessing seed morphology and seed viability have access to our seed application software DIGISEED® to complete analysis.
The most versatile package for accurately analyzing the seed is based on different thresholds like the seed fill percentage and seed size (mm2). With the DIGISEED® software, researchers can automatically determine seed count, seed density, seed size, and more.
KUBTEC's proprietary Image Blender™ feature is integrated into medium and large format x-ray imaging cabinets, enabling agricultural specialists to analyze optical images of seeds and plants. This advanced tool facilitates the overlay of high-resolution optical images with corresponding x-ray images, allowing for seamless manipulation within our DIGISEED® Seed Analysis Software.
Consequently, researchers and quality control professionals gain critical insights to enhance the accuracy of correlating observations from optical imagery with internal data obtained from x-ray acquisitions. In the accompanying image, users can toggle between the optical and x-ray views, exemplified by a maize weevil infestation, where the kernels exhibit signs of tissue deterioration alongside the precise location of the weevils.
Offering a wide array of 2D and 3D X-ray imaging solutions tailored to various life sciences applications such as rodents, fishes, etc.
A strong presence and a track record of satisfaction among customers spanning the United States, Europe, and Asia.
With close to two decades of experience in scientific imaging, KUBTEC has been at the forefront of developing cutting-edge technologies like The Image Blender™.
