Life Science Imaging
Food and Agriculture Inspection
As the volume of imported foods increases and food product safety has become a major concern, the application of X-ray imaging for agricultural inspection is growing rapidly. Products such as baby foods are scanned for foreign objects and nuts, grains, and seeds are screened for size, density, and pest control. Most organic materials do not require high energy X-ray photons for penetration (<30kV), however, volumes of material often pass through inspection at a rapid rate. Rad-icon’s standard (non-EV) camera products can be used at higher frame rates to accommodate volume inspection.
Capabilities
Teledyne DALSA offers many years of experience working with different scintillators and coupling fiber-optics to CCD and CMOS imagers.
- Low-noise, high bandwidth crystalline CMOS image sensors with radiation-hard pixel design delivering benchmark imaging quality and leading image resolution from still image to full video frame rates.
- High-speed distributed and non-destructive dose sensing, giving a low-resolution "preview" to monitor image accumulation during the actual X-ray exposure, reducing the need for image retakes.
- Precision conversion layer attachment technology to ensure optimal MTF and high image resolution.
- Compatible with multiple conversion layer solutions tuned to your application requirements.
- High-precision assembly technology capable of positioning and fixation of multiple sensors with a gap smaller than 50 microns.
- Radiation-hard pixel design to ensure stable operation, optimal imaging quality and long operational lifetime of the sensor.
