[Nhcoll-l] Digital x-ray machine

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi Stéphanie,

we are using the following x-ray:

Faxitron UltraFocus100, maximum tube current 0.3 mA, isowatt limited to 
12W (resulting electric tension ranging from 41-100 kV); typical image 
acquisition time 10 seconds.

You can look up further information here:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.faxitron.com_life-2Dsciences-2Dndt_products_ultrafocus.html-3Fqt-2Dultrafocus-3D2-23qt-2Dultrafocus&d=CwID-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=KP1o9QqI-FieoOyuWAcSPJEpKzboxB2lnap8X9WxWvw&s=f8zae1TPCkD0XOxzgZFrmQYVxlV2CF4hS22ov00a9AQ&e= 


Gives perfect results & resolution for fishes from 1cm to approx. 30 cm 
(diagonal scan); if you want to use a desktop machine you may run into 
troubles with larger specimens, because the magnification is direct 
proportional to the angle of beam spread and the distance of the object 
from the radiation source. If the majority of scans is specimens < 30 cm 
and you only occasionally need to scan larger fishes, the best option 
would be to get into contact with veterinarians or hospitals which could 
do these scans.

Hope this helps
Dirk
