Portable high resolution CT scanner
Portable high resolution CT scanner with fossil skull.This CT (computed tomography) scanner fires beams of X-rays (left) at different angles around the skull (centre). The X-rays are detected on an imaging plate (right) and the data converted by computer into a 3D model. This scanner can image objects up to 300 millimetres by 600 millimetres. It has a resolution of up 5 microns (millionths of a metre) which is much more sensitive than medical scanners. The scanner, together with computer workstations, is transportable inside a large container, making it possible to be used in remote locations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable capabilities of a portable high-resolution CT scanner, accompanied by a fossil skull. The cutting-edge technology behind this device involves firing X-ray beams from various angles around the skull, which are then detected on an imaging plate. Through sophisticated computer algorithms, these data points are transformed into an incredibly detailed 3D model. Unlike its medical counterparts, this scanner boasts an exceptional resolution of up to 5 microns (millionths of a meter), making it immensely sensitive for scientific purposes. With the ability to image objects as large as 300 millimeters by 600 millimeters, it offers unparalleled versatility in capturing intricate details and structures. What sets this portable CT scanner apart is its transportability within a sizable container. This groundbreaking feature enables scientists and researchers to utilize it even in remote locations where access to such advanced equipment would otherwise be challenging or impossible. The fusion of anthropology and technology depicted in this image highlights the invaluable role that CT scanning plays in unraveling our ancient past. By providing unprecedented insights into fossils and artifacts, this powerful tool aids anthropologists in their quest to understand human evolution and cultural history. Captured by Science Photo Library, this photograph encapsulates the intersection between science and artistry while showcasing the immense potential that lies within industrial CT scanners for non-commercial applications.
