Faxitron Bioptics said it is launching a new 24-micron digital detector based on complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology.
The detector provides up to three times the resolution of comparable specimen radiography and mammography systems. It will initially be rolled out in 6 x 15-cm and 12 x 15-cm fields-of-view (FOV), followed by up to 24 x 30-cm FOV formats, the company said.
The detector will serve as the foundation for Faxitron's upcoming Vision+ and Focus+ products. Prototype systems are being installed throughout this quarter with a full commercial rollout planned for the first quarter of 2015.
The firm said it will also create a new OEM camera business to service a variety of markets, including mammography, life sciences, and nondestructive testing.
