Shad-o-Snap^™ X-Ray Cameras

The Shad-o-Snap x-ray cameras make up Rad-icon's newest product line of easy-to-use, "smart" USB cameras. These microprocessor-based cameras offer simple timing control combined with new readout modes and easy image transfers as TIFF or raw integer image files. The Shad-o-Snap 1K and 4K cameras also feature our new 10 cm by 10 cm CMOS photodiode image sensor with 96 µm or 48 µm pixel spacing. These sensors feature an integrated direct-contact scintillator that is optimized for high resolution and sensitivity, ideal for applications ranging from biomedical imaging to industrial inspection.

The Shad-o-Snap cameras have been developed with ease-of-use in mind. The USB connection installs in seconds, and built-in Windows drivers are automatically loaded to communicate with the camera. We provide a simple software interface to control the camera and acquire images. Together with a laptop computer and optional battery pack, a truly portable x-ray imaging system can be created.

There are several software options available for the Shad-o-Snap cameras. The CameraConsole application provides a simple user interface for acquiring images that can be transferred to other programs for analysis. A second option is to use our popular ShadoCam software which now features full support for the Shad-o-Snap camera series (versions 2.2 and above). Finally, a TWAIN driver allows users to directly scan images into TWAIN-enabled applications such as Photoshop or Image-Pro Plus. All three programs are available free of charge! See our Software page for more details.

The Shad-o-Snap product lines features several different imager sizes and sensors for both the 10-50 kV and 10-160 kV energy ranges. Each Shad-o-Snap camera ships with a +6.5V desktop power supply, a power cord, a 5m USB cable, a manual and software. A frame grabber is not needed. A PC or laptop running Windows 2000 or XP is required.
