Varian Detectors offer these important features: High Dynamic Range Varian detection systems allow imaging the finest details in air (approx. 0.5 mm wire) while still being able to penetrate and see dense objects behind large amounts of steel (see table below) in one scan at one technique. Excellent Sensitivity The detection system maintains incremental sensitivity to attenuation differences throughout the wide range mentioned above. Small Element Size The physical size of detector elements is another important determinant that contributes to spatial resolution. The narrower the detector...
