Press Release: Copenhagen, Denmark - [29 January 2024] - Xnovo Technology ApS, a pioneer in advanced X-ray imaging solutions, reveals a strategic partnership with Sweden-based Exciscope AB. This collaboration aims to introduce the world's first laboratory-based X-ray tensor tomography technique, branded FiberScanner3D, available on the Exciscope Polaris platform.
Breaking Boundaries in Materials Science
The FiberScanner3D module, a result of collaborative innovation with the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland, utilizes patented grating technology to bring forth a breakthrough in the high-throughput mapping of directional X-ray scattering. This module enables non-destructive 3D anisotropic structure characterization and analysis of fibrous samples, beyond the imaging resolution limits of conventional X-ray CT systems.
This technology provides access to fiber orientation and fiber alignment information without directly resolving the underlying microstructures. As a result, it opens new horizons for characterizing large-scale samples and production components, as well as for assessing their mechanical performance, and for empowering the predictive design of materials.
Expanding Applications in Materials Science and Beyond
With applications spanning from the manufacturing of sustainable materials like natural and synthetic fiber composites to biological systems exhibiting highly anisotropic structures, FiberScanner3D represents a significant leap forward in analytical imaging methods. Notably, it brings X-ray tensor tomography out of synchrotron imaging facilities and into the laboratory, expanding its accessibility and applicability.
A Visionary Partnership
Lars Romson, CEO of Exciscope, commented, "Exciscope is committed to delivering world-leading lab-based phase-contrast imaging solutions. Our collaboration with Xnovo is enhancing analytical capabilities for our Exciscope Polaris platform that align with the evolving needs of our customers in biomedical research, materials science, and beyond."
Erik Lauridsen, CEO and founder of Xnovo Technology, expressed enthusiasm, stating, "Xnovo excels at bringing synchrotron-level imaging methods to the lab, and our partnership with Exciscope is yet another testament to our commitment. FiberScanner3D has the potential to bring materials science into a new stage of rapid, reliable, and robust fiber structure characterization."

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
