Berlin/Hamburg: On Wednesday, October 4, 2018, the long-awaited moment arrived. The Humboldt Museum (Germany's largest natural history museum located in Berlin) opened the door to the microscopic world that can only be seen through a microscope. From 1 PM to 4 PM, thanks to YXLON's computer tomography technology, we had the opportunity to capture and analyze the collections stored in the museum in three dimensions. Additionally, by providing opportunities for dialogue with scientists, we attempted to bridge science and society. A collaboration between the Humboldt Museum and the X-ray manufacturer Exelon International (hereinafter YXLON) was realized. For at least the next nine months, YXLON decided to lend the high-resolution CT device: FF35 to the museum to contribute to various research projects. The FF35 is a computer tomography device that can capture even the smallest structures in detailed three-dimensional images without destroying or damaging the specimens. The FF35 is also capable of imaging large specimens, such as complete animal skulls.
