Safety Operating X-Ray MachinesA very common concern related to x-ray inspection is the safety of x-ray machines. In this presentation we cover the safety features of x-ray inspection systems, as well as FDA rules that manage security features.
Field of View of an X-Ray Inspection SystemIn this presentation we define the field of view of an x-ray inspection system.
Image ResolutionThe definition of x-ray image resolution is often misunderstood. In this video we cover the details on how to determine the image resolution of an x-ray inspection system.
How is the X-Ray Image Created?In this presentation we cover how the x-ray image is created - from the photon leaving the x-ray to the x-rays that travel thru the sample to hit the x-ray sensor.
Image Intensifier VS Flat PanelIn this video we describe the main differences between 2 technologies used as x-ray sensors: image intensifiers and flat panels.
X-Ray Image MagnificationIn this presentation we describe in detail the process of magnification of x-ray images, also called geometric magnification.
Do I Need a Microfocus X-Ray Source?One of the common questions we receive relate to microfocus x-ray sources. Are they really necessary? In this presentation we explore the advantages of a microfocus x-ray source.
Why does a flat input field matters for your x-ray inspection?Image intensifiers have an intrinsic disadvantage: a curved input field. In this presentation we explore why a flat input field is critical to x-ray inspection, specially in metrology applications.
Why are x-ray cabinets so big?In this presentation we address a commonly asked question: why are x-ray cabinets so big? Although we make cabinets as small as 16”x16”x16”, x-ray cabinets must be able to fully manipulate the sample inside them. Unlike medical systems that are open, the cabinets we describe constrain all radiation within the volume inside the cabinet. The shield on the cabinet walls allows for safe operation of the x-ray machine.
