Model X80 X-Ray Irradiator
print this page Hopewell Designs, Inc.
The Model X80 irradiator is an automated, computer controlled X-ray system for exposing personnel dosimeter badges and calibrating radiation detection instruments. The X80 uses a simple graphical interface that provides one button calibration set up, calculates exposure rate based on current and voltage, shows irradiator status at a glance, and provides complete control over the irradiator. With a transmission chamber and electrometer, exposure data is collected automatically and saved to a database.	Shielded Cabinet and Positioning Track
