The use of X-ray microtomography to investigate the microstructure of pharmaceutical tablets: Potentials and comparison to common physical methods

This new study from the University of Braunschweig explores the microstructure of tablets, analyzable thanks to X-ray microtomgraphy (XMT). 

This helps to get a deeper understanding of their properties: mechanical strength, component distribution etc. XMT measurements are then compared with other methods used to characterize APIs. Access the paper HERE.
