Do you know what’s inside a Flock camera you’ve likely passed by before? We CT scanned one to take a look. Swipe through to see what captures a car’s license plate and “fingerprints” like make, model, color, roof racks, and bumper stickers. 👁️

You’ve probably driven past a Flock camera without knowing what it is. It’s an automated license plate reader. We CT scanned one to see what’s inside. As cars pass, it photographs each one, reads the plate, logs where and when it saw the vehicle, and records “fingerprints” like make, model, color, and details like roof racks or bumper stickers, building a searchable record of who drove by. It runs on solar power and a battery pack so it can be installed anywhere. Have you seen these before?

This Jeffrey pine cone looks like a welcoming beginning to the fall season, but it had a bit of a surprise for us inside. We CT scanned it and found coneworms, the larvae of a moth in the Dioryctria genus that shelter inside and eat the seeds. The open cone had 3 of them. A fresher, closed one had 22. 😳

Have you heard about these?

One of our favorite car part CT scans. 🤩

Fuel injectors are precision nozzles that feed your engine with (you guessed it) fuel. By spraying fuel in a fine, controlled mist, they create a mix with air for combustion. This refined balance is what makes modern engines more efficient and reduce emissions.

You let a Tamagotchi perish, didn’t you? We CT scanned the new 2nd Gen to find the tiny quartz crystal that gives your pet a sense of time, clocking in its need for attention and food. Swipe through to see the components that keep your Tamagotchi alive (or not).

The Zune 8 was an underdog against the iPod, but it had one feature Apple never matched: wireless song sharing. Swipe through to see the chips that made it work and bring back some MP3 memories. Did you choose Zune or iPod?

The Zune could do one thing no iPod ever could: share songs wirelessly with another Zune nearby. We CT scanned Microsoft’s underdog to see what set it apart and found the WiFi chip that made it happen. 🎧

Were you team Zune or iPod?

Kodak recently dropped the EC35 film camera, another low-cost option for easy point-and-shoot film photography. We CT scanned it to explore how its simple mechanisms work. They come in a ton of colors, which one’s your favorite?

Would you hydrate with the Grillo's Pickles x Liquid I.V.® electrolyte powder? That’s what we asked ourselves when we CT scanned a packet of it. Take a close-up look at the densities of the flavors and salt doing the hard work. 🥒
