XSEED X-ray Imaging Systems
A Rapid, Non-Destructive Way to Assess Quality
XSEED is a range of high-resolution X-ray imaging systems and software solutions that allow for accurate, non-destructive assessment of seed quality and viability, and can help predict germination potential.
Description
Detect Internal Defects
- Insect infestations and cracks or voids in latent seed structures.
- Overlay X-ray images with optical images of external seed properties using Image Blender*, to map externally visible damage to internal seed structures.
Reduce Seed Consumption
- Save valuable, rare, or endangered seeds with non-destructive testing
Minimize Risk
- Identify dead or abnormal seeds to reduce the risk of seeds that fail to germinate or that result in damaged, unhealthy, or unusable seedlings.
Optimize Seed Quality Assessment
- Obtain detailed visualization of internal morphology in fully intact seeds
- Evaluate embryo development and endosperm completeness
- Determine seed quality and viability in seconds
- Gain valuable insight which can help predict germination success and seedling performance
Customize Analysis
- Customizable image analysis parameters for different species
- Density Profiling capability for analyzing differing densities in seeds.
Expand Capabilities
- Use X-ray imaging for agricultural or botanical applications like imaging insect infestations in plant tissues such as floral stems or maize plants
- Designed to fit the needs of your unique seed and agricultural analysis
