Other scans include video game controllers such as the Super Nintendo SNES controller, PS5 DualSense wireless controller, and Xbox wireless controller.
Interactive Educational Content
The Scan of the Month website provides interactive webinars and demonstrations focused on how engineers can use industrial X-ray CT to inspect electronics. The site also includes a section called CT 101 that introduces computed tomography, offering users a foundational understanding of the technology used in these scans.
