(Nikon Metrology: Brighton, MI) -- Safety standards are becoming ever stricter throughout manufacturing, particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries.

The condition of the digital X-ray detector in particular has a considerable influence on the efficiency and accuracy with which features are revealed and measured, so being able to evaluate and track its performance over time is crucial.
