Description

X-Scan XH8800 series line-scan cameras are designed for high-energy x-ray and gamma-ray scanning applications ranging from 100 KeV to 450 KeV with option for 15 MeV energy levels. High-energy accelerators and detectors such as the XH8800 are required to image large, dense objects such as metal castings and steel objects whose thickness can range from 4 to 12 inches. A clever compact design combines scintillation (for conversion of high-energy photons to visible light) and fiber optics for conveying the visible light to a shielded off-axis linear imaging photodiode array. A tungsten housing shields the diode array and camera electronics ensuring long-life reliability under extreme radiation conditions.
