X-Ray Systems

High-performance X-ray detection for defence and security applications

Scintacor technologies are integrated into a range of X-ray systems used for both inspection of defence hardware and high-speed flash X-ray imaging. Our scintillator screens are designed to deliver high performance under demanding conditions, supporting applications from routine line scan inspection through to dynamic event capture.

Flash X-Ray:

Flash X-ray systems are used to capture high-speed events, such as ballistic impact and dynamic material behaviour. Scintacor’s Rapidex screens are specifically designed for these applications, offering:

  • Ultra-fast decay times (7 μs to 10% decay)
  • Minimal image lag for improved temporal resolution
  • High clarity in single-shot or pulsed systems

These characteristics make Rapidex well suited to capturing fast transient events with high fidelity.

Inspection X-Ray:

For inspection of defence components and assemblies, reliable imaging at high energy is critical. Scintacor’s Mevex screens are engineered for high-energy X-ray environments, robust heavy-duty operation, and consistent image quality in demanding inspection conditions.

This makes them ideal for applications such as inspection of dense materials and complex defence hardware.

Integrated System Capability

In addition to component-level solutions, fully integrated X-ray systems are available through our parent company, Tibidabo Scientific Industries, enabling a complete solution from source to detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scintacor’s Mevex screen has been designed for use at high X-ray energies , maintaining strong detection efficiency and image quality when inspecting dense materials and complex assemblies.

Faster decay reduces residual signal between exposures, enabling clearer images in pulsed or high-speed systems. This is critical for capturing fast events such as ballistic testing and dynamic material behaviour.
Yes, screens can be tailored in thickness, material type, and format to match system geometry, energy range, and performance requirements.

Scintillator screens can be integrated into existing detector assemblies or specified into new system designs, depending on the application.
