Information:
For the agricultural industry, the germination capacity and field emergence of seeds are of high economic importance. Digital X-ray inspection provides important insights and enables accurate quality analysis of the seeds.

Inspection Possibilities:
empty seeds / damaged or destroyed seeds / poor seed structure (morphology)

Sugar Beet Seeds

Information:
The prerequisite for reliable seed quality testing is high X-ray image quality: Due to the small size of the seeds, high geometric resolution is required. Furthermore, the seeds are very thin and have low X-ray absorption, which requires a large dynamic range. All these requirements are met by NTB’s digital X-ray camera systems.

Inspection Possibilities:
empty seeds / damaged or destroyed seeds / poor seed structure (morphology)
