Traditionally, Scintacor has produced FOS caesium iodide (CsI) X-ray scintillators. These are made up of a layer of CsI deposited on a fibre-optic faceplate (FOP) and then coated over with a protective film. The faceplates are composed of compressed bundles of glass optical fibres which transfer the photons created in...

Scintacor were delighted to welcome Daniel Zeichner the Member of Parliament for Cambridge, to their facility last week. Ed Bullard CEO of Scintacor, and the team explained some of the high technology processes behind scintillator manufacturing.  This photo highlights the pouring process involved in the preparation of Lithium-6 glass.
