X-ray system from the legendary company Scandiflash, the undisputed leader in the field of fast X-ray images. Since 1983, Scandiflash has created a modular high-speed radiography system that allows us to discover the nature of extremely fast and difficult-to-observe phenomena. Scandiflash lamps generate 20 ns, very strong flashes that can freeze objects moving at a speed of up to 15 km/s. Their application is primarily in the study of cumulative jets, detonation, fragmentation and terminal ballistics.

Over the last 40 years, Scandiflash has delivered hundreds of systems to institutions in 30 countries around the world. Headquarters in Sweden, Uppsala.

1-photo system

A basic system that allows you to take a single photo. Penetration capacity, pulse duration, radiation dose, etc. depend on the pulser model and are given in the table below. A pulsed lamp with a film or a digital imaging plate is used to take a photo. Film requires analog development, while the imaging plate is read using a digital scanner. The whole thing is operated and controlled via a laptop using ScandiControl software. The system can be triggered by external control pulses (short circuit, open, falling/rising edge).

The system can be expanded to a maximum of 8 impulse lamps, allowing you to take 8 photos in different places.

1-photo system 3D

The only difference between the 1-photo system is that in this case the pulser is equipped with a special converter that divides the current generated by the pulser into two lamps, allowing two photos to be taken at the same time. This makes it possible to create a stereoscopic image. Splitting the current reduces the penetration capacity of each lamp by 50%. Other parameters as for a 1-photo system.

The system can be expanded to a maximum of 8 pulsed lamps, allowing you to take 4 stereoscopic photos in different places.

4-photo system with a high-speed camera

This system is characterized by the use of a multi-anode lamp, which allows several pulses to be fired from the same place. Single-impulse lamps do not allow taking a series of photos in the same place. They must be placed in different places, e.g. at different distances along the missile's flight path. A multi-anode lamp combined with a scintillator and a high-speed camera allows you to take 2 to 8 photos in the same place. The recording speed and resolution depend on the capabilities of the high-speed camera. The camera is synchronized with the system directly or using a delay generator (depending on the camera model).

It is the most commonly used system in ballistics, weapons and explosives laboratories.
