What Becomes Visible?

Computed tomography fully scans the surprise egg and precisely reveals:

• The toy inside – its shape, position, and material
• The chocolate layer – its wall thickness and uniformity
• The exact positioning of all components relative to each other
• Material differences between plastic, chocolate, and packaging
