Application of HF X-ray Source
- Baggage Screening: High-frequency X-ray sources are used in baggage screening systems at airports. They can penetrate through luggage and provide detailed images of the contents, allowing security personnel to identify any prohibited items, such as weapons, explosives, etc.
- Cargo Inspection: High-frequency X-ray sources are utilized to inspect cargo shipments transported on airplanes to detect any hidden threats or illegal items.
- Security Equipment Testing: High-frequency X-ray sources are used to test and calibrate security equipment such as metal detectors, and explosive trace detectors.
- Air Cargo Securities: In air cargo security these X-ray sources are used to inspect packages and shipments before they are loaded onto aircraft.
IONICS High-frequency X-ray sources have other applications apart from aviation security such as:
- Industrial Inspection
- Medical Imaging
- Material Science Research
- Geology & Mining
- Forensic Investigations
