UV/Vis calibration for UK Ministry of Defence
The Levy-Hill MkVI radiometer/photometer from Applied Scintillation Technologies has been chosen by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for calibration of light sources used for flaw and crack detection
It can be used with free standing X-ray units, compact desk top units and portable X-ray viewing screens for on the spot examination of suspicious objects.
SecureX HB offers inspection systems manufacturers great flexibility and performance.
The screen can be mounted on a variety of rigid supports if required, including carbon fibre.
Screens can be manufactured to the size and shape determined by the application, so there is no waste or cutting.
It is particularly well suited for lens- coupled systems working in low light conditions.
The high gain and improved resolution is achieved using a proprietary phosphor blend which results in 30% more light output than conventional rare earth based screens.
Containing no cadmium, these screens comply with the RoHS (restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) directive.
