AST Showcases Wavelength Conversion Technology in Hall 4, Stand 55, at VISION 2009
October 2009
Most illumination sources used in machine vision applications emit light in the visible region of the spectrum and the majority of the cameras used are sensitive in this range. However, the use of illumination outside the visible range, such as near infrared (NIR) and X-rays, is growing. X-ray imaging can reveal detail right inside an object, while NIR imaging can show features from below the surface of the object. At VISION 2009, Applied Scintillation Technologies (AST) will be promoting its comprehensive capability to manufacture phosphor coatings, screens, scintillators and adapters that allow the conversion of many different radiations into visible light for imaging and detection.
Record Year For Sales And Orders Announced
