Novel implementation of laser ablation tomography as an alternative technique to assess grain quality and internal insect development in stored products

In the last century, there have been important advances in peering inside the internal grain environment. This has included electrical conductance mills, acoustical tools, near-infrared spectroscopy, and soft X-ray imaging. Each technique has their own advantages and limitations. In this current study, we describe a novel process for assessing grain quality and internal insect development in grain using laser ablation tomography (LATscan) and...
