X-RAYS: Our business
InnospeXion uses the knowledge on X-ray interaction with matter to develop innovative techniques for inspection
and characterisation, by imaging or by measurement of the spectrum of transmitted or scattered radiation. Since
2000, we have applied these principles for non-destructive testing services, prototype characterisation,
manufacturing prototyping and for the continuous development of state-of-the-art industrial solutions. Since 2003,
we have supplied intelligent and unique on-line, at-line or off-line x-ray based solutions to improve the productions
cost-effectiveness. The main success product is the low energy X-ray inspection systems that was awarded
the Innovation Award 2007

From the relative contrast evaluation it seems confirmed that potential detection on cartilage in meat is
optimized at low energies, here represented by the 20 keV to 25 keV range compared to conventional systems
operated at higher energies, here represented by the 40 keV to 60 keV range

FACTS The lower the X-ray energy (in KeV), the better the contrast;
The smaller the pixel dimension, the better the spatial resolution
Röntgen unveiled the potential for low E X-rays a century ago
CONTRAINTS Low energy X-rays are easily absorbed – also by air!
When a pixel is small, it receives very little ”light”, or radiation. Hence, the SNR in a low E X-ray image may be very poor
For industrial automation, line speed may be high. Hence, even less radiation is received per pixel per time unit.
THE SOLUTION Very stable X-ray source
Very high quantum efficiency detection technology
Design that limits the physical constraints
