Measuring what you can't see: high resolution X-ray inspection systems are capable of...

The OPTEK x-ray inspection system provides a unique approach to high magnification real-time x-ray inspection and measurement of thick and dense materials. The need to measure something inspired some of the earliest tools invented by man. Basic measurements were needed for constructing dwellings of an appropriate size and shape, fashioning clothing, or bartering food or raw materials.
