Neutron Radiography

Exosens: on-site neutron radiography becomes a reality

PRESS RELEASE
STURBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, USA – OCTOBER 06, 2025

Exosens, a global leader in imaging and detection technologies, proudly announces a transformative leap in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): on-site neutron radiography imaging is becoming a reality. Exosens has been capturing neutron images with its Neutronis system, significantly advancing the progress of making on-site neutron radiography possible.

This achievement validates years of development and marks a turning point for neutron imaging. Historically, obtaining neutron radiographs required shipping samples to specialized national laboratories, which involved lengthy delays, high costs, and confidentiality risks. Neutronis revolutionizes the shortcomings of this process by delivering high-performance neutron radiography directly in the lab—on demand.

Key features of the Neutronis include:

•    Proven Imaging – Successful validation with a lab-size neutron source confirms the system is operational
•    Improved Contrast – With a different contrast mechanism, neutrons reveal features X-rays cannot see
•    On-Site Capability – Imaging performed directly where needed, eliminating shipping delays and confidentiality concerns

“We’re encouraged by these results and the remarkable progress of our Neutronis technology. This breakthrough will open the door to faster, more flexible, and more secure NDT workflows across countless industries at a substantially lower cost. While there is still work ahead, these initial images prove that on-site neutron imaging is moving from concept to reality,” said Ulrich Laupper, President of Exosens’ Ultimate Detection Business Unit

At the heart of the Neutronis system is the Neutronic[i], a state-of-the-art thermal neutron detector, powered by Exosens’ patented Microchannel Plate (MCP) technology. Its efficiency and resolution improvements have made this breakthrough possible. This cutting-edge system is set to redefine capabilities in the NDT industry.

See It at ASNT 2025

Exosens will showcase the Neutronic[i] at booth #1128, along with the early images and system advancements of the Neutronis system during ASNT 2025, taking place October 6–9 at the Coronado Springs Resort Convention Center. Visit booth #1128 to learn more.

In addition, Serge Duarte Pinto, PhD, will present the latest Neutronis update:
