Scintillators
Scintillation screens are materials used to convert incoming radiation, like X-rays or particles, into visible light. These screens typically consist of a scintillator material coated onto a substrate, like glass or plastic. When the radiation interacts with the scintillator, it emits flashes of light, which can be captured and converted into an image by a detector, such as a camera or an imaging device. These screens are commonly used in medical imaging, industrial inspections, and scientific research to visualize and capture images of the radiation passing through an object or a sample.
Thin and flat scintillation crystal plates are commonly used in high spatial resolution imaging applications, such as Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM), proton beam imaging, low-energy or soft X-ray imaging, and VUV and XUV radiation applications. Critical properties of these scintillation screens include high light output, optical homogeneity, flatness, and excellent roughness.
Hangzhou Shalom EO offers scintillation screens made from YAG(Ce), YAP(Ce), GAGG(Ce), and LuAG(Ce) crystals. YAG(Ce) and LuAG(Ce) demonstrate exceptional properties ideal for low-energy scintillation imaging. These screens are available in minimum thicknesses of 0.01mm with substrates and 0.05mm free-standing, featuring high-precision surface polishing.
