Example Photos Taken

Analog 2/3 in X-ray Camera with a 16 to 50mm Fiber Taper Scintillation Surface with a variable thickness Gadolinium Oxysulphide (GdOs) scintillation layer. Perfect for inexpensive inspection instruments where cost is a factor.

 

The Fiber Cam represents a new way to capture X-ray images with standard analog CCD sensors. The Fiber Cam is a standard 2/3" monochrome CCD Camera with a fused fiber optic bundle that is attached directly to the image sensor with proprietary technology.

 

It is designed for OEMs who wish to use a standard camera with X-Ray sources. Using this technology the sensor is at least 1/2" away from the sensor and will thus reduce the rate of sensor deterioration.

This camera is based on the industry standard Hitachi KP-M1AN. Camera specs are therefore the same. Our scintillation layer is applied directly to the surface of the fiber-optic coupler for maximum efficiency . The thickness of the layer can be adjusted and its preparation is our proprietary technology. This layer is very sensitive to scratches and thus the camera ships with a thin aluminum cover plate.

Features

  • Scintillator: Polycrystalline layer of gadolinium oxysulphide with full range energy response from 5 keV to  120 keV and 15 mg/cm2 density for optimized response at 5-35 kev X-ray source. Scintillator layer is applied directly to  face of fiber-optic coupler for maximum light transfer efficiency. An aluminum light excluding cover plate  is placed in front of scintillation layer for protection.
  • Analog NTSC output is very convenient output for computer viewing
  • 470TVL resolution
  • Based on 2/3 in CCD  of  Hitachi KP-M1AN
  • Customizeable fiber tapers available
  • We bond Fiber Taper directly to CCD surface
  • Expected lifetime of CCD greatly enhanced via use of FO coupling
  • Individually built and tested by experts
  • Recommended Frame Grabber is Euresys Picolo but works with any FG
  • Camera can integrate up to 1/2 second or integration can be performed via FG
  • Note: Other light sensitive cameras may be modified with this technology.Please contact us.
