[Nhcoll-l] Digital X-ray Cabinet recommendations

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi Tom,

in Munich we had a Faxitron Pro cabinet<https://www.faxitron.com/non-destructive-testing/> that gave fine resolution even for small fish, but not sure if this is what you are looking for. Minor disadvantage was the acrylic insert for the specimens which started suffering from repeated alcohol contact, but this can be replaced with DIY solutions.

Hope this is useful

Hello all,

The Department of Ichthyology at AMNH is in the market for a new self-contained digital x-ray cabinet.  For reference, right now we are using a DXS Pro from Carestream, but it’s seen better days. Something of similar proportions and capacity would be what we’re looking for. Please send your suggestions – makes and model numbers appreciated. As well as any pros or cons for the machine you’re suggesting.

Thanks,
Tom
