Systems, Inc., a world leader in X-ray tubes manufacturing and a supplier of digital image detectors for filmless X-rays, has launched the new PaxScan 1313, which has been developed for low-cost and high quality imaging.

As it is optimized for use in dental and orthopedic imaging and semiconductor inspection systems, the PaxScan 1313 offers a 13 x 13 cm imaging area, produces up to 30 images per second, and offers an enhanced sensitivity.

For semiconductor inspection applications, the PaxScan 1313 is said to be one of the most durable flat panel digital image detector with the processing speed needed to inspect thousands of chips per hour.

The panel utilizes amorphous (non-crystalline) silicon, which makes it more resilient than competing CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) wafer detectors, and capable of lasting up to five times longer, even in highly demanding round-the-clock semiconductor screening operations.

Furthermore, each PaxScan 1313 panel comes with Varian's ViVA application software for viewing images on a computer, the industry standard CameraLink connector for digital video output, a universal compact power supply, an optional image capture board, and various cables to cover almost every application.

Varian's family of PaxScan image detectors are available in a variety of capacities and image sizes, and have been incorporated into cardiac, angiographic, dental, and medical imaging systems, as well as systems for non-destructive testing.

The PaxScan 1313 is designed to replace the six-inch image intensifiers currently used in several orthopedic and dental imaging systems.
