Compact high-resolution image sensor with ethernet connection for direct capturing X-ray images with an X-ray apparatus at daylight conditions (without X-ray film and fluorescent screen ). Together with the precision rail (554 8291), the digital image sensor is a high performance camera for X-ray photography, radiology, crystallography and computed tomography for use in practical trainings and demonstrations at universities.
The X-ray images can be saved as grey scale image in full resolution or they can be used for 3D reconstruction of the irradiated object with the computed tomography software. Such reconstruction is done live while capturing the images within minutes.
The sensor is inserted with the precision rail (554 8291) into the experiment chamber of the X-ray apparatus. The X-ray image is captured indirectly, as the radiation is first converted with a scintillator foil into a viewable, analogue, intermediate image and then with a large CMOS sensor into a digitalised image.
The CMOS sensors used here have proven themselves thousands of times and for over 10 years in industrial applications, e.g. in non-destructive material testing, production control and in medical engineering. Used in an X-ray apparatus they also provide high-resolution radiography images up to CT scans.
