Pressure Chamber Makes Egg Microcracks Shine

Published: February 18, 2009
Summary
A prototype pressure chamber and camera system that finds very small cracks, called microcracks, in fresh eggshells has been developed by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists. The device could help the fresh egg industry find microcracks that can often go undetected during grading, according to scientists at the agency's Egg Safety and Quality Research Unit (ESQRU) and Quality and Sa...
