<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">We went digital about one year ago and first we thought off using our old analogues X-ray machine together with a digital panel /scanner. However, in our case the old machine had too large focus
(0.5 mm) and for digital X-ray small focus (micro/mini focus) is preferred to enable geometrical magnification to achieve same or even higher resolution compared to film. After looking around we ended up with a solution, offered by Kodex USA, that we mounted
in our existing cabinet. This type of set ups are in use in several American museums. We also looked at scanners but to me they seems too complicated (moving parts) and more important, too long exposure times. Scanner can give slightly higher resolution compared
to panels but micro focus + geometric magnification is the preferred way to go according to my opinion. The X-ray source is a small investment compared to a panel/scanner. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">One more thing: I know that they had some problem in Paris (MNHN) combining an old Faxitron with digital technology. I’m not an x-ray engineer but it had something to do with the “nature” of the
X-ray beam from the Faxitron.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are looking for a digital x-ray setup that will attached to our existing Picker x-ray head and to be used in our existing x-ray cabinet. Has anyone else connected a digital x-ray scanner to an analog x-ray head and
if so, what did you buy? We have been looking at the NTB EZ320 as an option - <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__malzemekontrol.com_wp-2Dcontent_uploads_2016_07_Brochure-2DXray-2DScanner.pdf&d=DwMFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=ckk0ICI81PY5GrjrwkoQVwnWyIXFLVSc8n6bI0ebrgw&s=r7T3jYQBJOKtD_FqNmC4RL2g9_lV-NIv8yHIWuZU1Rk&e=">
