Cameras ensure vaccine vials meet high quality standards
Combating the Covid-19 pandemic is at the top of the global agenda. Providing vaccines to populations around the globe means providing around 8 billion doses – with only one for every person in the world. In addition to the availability of the vaccine, a decisive factor in the race against time is the disposability of…
Non-destructive testing of composite materials
In yacht and boat building the most commonly used materials are the so-called composites. By cleverly combining the positive properties of at least two components, they often have outstanding features – some of them even specially adapted to their respective areas of application. It is hardly surprising that they are also used for high-performance applications […]
