Astrophysics 6 Color Imaging is a breakthrough in the X-Ray Security industry and marks a significant step forward in threat discrimination and material identification. The introduction of a 6 color, rather than the conventional 3 color palette allows operators to more efficiently recognize objects and isolate security threats. As a result, 6 Color Imaging not only increases precision screening, but also greatly improves throughput.
The commonly used 3 color imaging was established over 20 years ago and has a limited color coding that makes it difficult to discriminate between similar materials. In contrast, 6 Color Imaging utilizes extended color categorizing through Atomic Z-Number Measurement. Each of the 6 colors identify specific ranges of atomic numbers, including organic, low and high inorganic, as well as light, heavy and dense metals.
6 Color Imaging differentiates between materials 3 color imaging cannot, enabled better identification of explosives, drug contraband, alcohol, weaponry, precious metals and other unauthorized items.
Astrophysics exclusive 6 Color Imaging is a new standard feature on all Astrophysics XIS Series X-Ray Inspection Systems. With industry leading penetration and software, Astrophysics XIS Series features the most technologically advanced X-Ray Inspection Systems on the market.
