    Well you can access to an X-ray machine if you are a doctor or a X-ray technician. :) Great stuffs.. hope can see more of these Xray pics of different kind of rackets.. including the Mps , Ats and the latest Nanos.

    yeah. was wondering about that. these days x-rays are not film based anymore and they can take lots of x-ray with very little cost..

    i wonder whom i know who works in an x-ray lab.. hm..... :)

    Not the structure.. maybe just whats inside the racket , it will be better if few sections of the racket can be magnified..

    most flaws are internal cosmetics and dont really affect performance

    Yes, ultrasound picks up microscope cracks in the graphite structure.

    x-ray of yonex and sotx

    What we've seen in the x-ray are probably true. I agree with twobeer's statement that the compared models of yonex and sotx are basically different. The SOTX shown here is the STB 5086 model. I don't speak for SOTX, but this model is at the lower end of the SOTX lines. I believe this model really has no Titanium T-joint. Only the SOTX Titanium Series, the Charm series and their top of the line Power Boss (woven) have this metallic T-joint. Correct me if I'm wrong please. The comparison was not FAIR.

    If patent hasn't run out! I seem to remmberYonex patent Garphite process in the beginning, and then the patent ran out - then came all those manufatures of graphite racquets, where previously only a few were willing/could afford the price ie Carlton etc

    for certain application, like rackets, xray is better. IMO

    That's a freaking expensive QC! Last time I checked with a private clinic it cost Cdn 700 to scan a knee!!! A MRI machine costs 2.5 million U.S.

    I am just wondering if anyone knows how much a picture of x-ray would cost? (like the above badminton racket):)

    Is it like hospital x-rays? (from my experiences, it's like $40 dollars before health insurance came in, but that's in different sizes :p)

    Electron microscope may not be that hard 2 use actually however the racket would need to be cut up into cross sections

    ive used them before quite a few times however i never tried to cut a racket up cos to expensive anyways the microscope only cost £750,000

    each reckons they will let me hava play on it ? least i no how 2 use it:D

    IMHO, nanotubes consists of fullerene molecules that cannot be seen by X-ray or magnetic devices.
