X-ray imaging for fast and accurate seed quality analysis
Radiography is a key tool in evaluating seed quality in commercial seed production. Seed maturity and viability can be reliably determined with 2D X-rays for most commercially important species.
SeediX is X-ray based imaging system for fast, non-destructive seed evaluation. It helps seed producers, laboratories, and researchers assess seed quality, detect defects, and optimize seed selection. Solution consists of advanced image processing, machine vision techniques, and AI-assisted analysis.
Seed imaging matters
With X-ray imaging, seed laboratories and producers can:
- Detect empty or damaged seeds
- Identify pest infestations
- Evaluate seed maturity
- Improve seed lot quality control
The SeediX solution
SeediX provides high-resolution digital X-ray imaging specifically designed for seed evaluation. X-ray seed testing is an ISTA-recognized method for rapid, non-destructive seed quality evaluation.
Using advanced image processing tools, SeediX enables efficient seed analysis for research, quality control, and commercial seed production.
Key capabilities include
High-resolution imaging; detailed geometric magnification allows precise visualization of seed structures without digital image deterioration.
Defect detection; identify internal defects, insect damage, and abnormal seed development.
Machine vision tools; Advanced software supports automated analysis and classification of seeds.
Organized data management; create structured databases of seed images and analysis results for research and quality control.
From batch to quality
Seeds placed, Whole batch loaded into the cabinet. The 24 × 30 cm imaging area captures hundreds of seeds in a single exposure. No preparation. Nothing destroyed
X-ray capture, Microfocus X-ray with up to 18× motorized magnification — plus 2.5× software zoom — reveals internal anatomy. Automatic contrast optimisation applied immediately.
AI analysis, Each seed automatically counted, segmented and classified by defect type. Lot-level viability estimated from defect rates. Sample size determined instantly. No manual work required.
Decision made, Batch receives a quality ranking. TIFF images saved with full seed lot metadata — locally, on external storage, or to the SeediX Image Archiving System. Remotely viewable.
