Scanx Scout

ScanX Scout is a high performance portable digital X-ray system combining high sensitivity flexible film plates, a rugged battery powered image plate reader and a laptop for detailed forensic level X-ray inspection across the full spectrum of defence and security applications.

ScanX Scout image plates are very thin and flexible for easy access into confined areas and or wrapping around objects of interest. The image plates are available in a range of sizes and can be used individually or mounted in multiple combinations to investigate larger objects.
CR X-ray image plates require no cables nor batteries for use and the entire X-ray operation from setting up the scanner, placing the X-ray plate, X-ray acquisition and image plate
scanning can be completed in less than 2 minutes.
Plates can be used over 1000 times and can be erased during the scanning process to allow immediate reuse.
The ScanX Scout Image Plate Reader scans the plates either on mains or battery power to produce ultra high resolution X-ray images in as little as 35 seconds. Its ability to reveal fine wire and electronic component detail makes it an invaluable system for those needing to make fast accurate decisions in the field and equally for lab-based orensic and analytical tasks.
