See Through the Toughest Conditions
Scandiflash Flash X-Ray (FXR) Systems are valuable imaging solutions to see through tough research conditions – fire, smoke, metal and other materials during dynamic events – ballistics, hypervelocity impact testing, detonics (ordnance velocity & explosives research), and more, using intense X-ray pulses (flashes) for ultra high-speed imaging. Exposure times ranging from 20–35 nanoseconds and 1.5, 2.5 & 4 millimeter focal spot sizes produce extremely sharp radiographs for analysis.
Scandiflash FXR systems feature a wide voltage range – 75 to 1200 kilovolts – strong enough to penetrate 3–60 millimeters of steel for your radiological research. A Scandiflash SXA Soft X-ray Adapter Kit can be fitted to Flash X-ray tubes to produce soft X-radiation for optimal penetration and contrast for low energy radiation research applications.
Cineradiographic Flash X-Ray Imaging
Scandiflash Multi-Anode Flash X-ray tubes (MAT) are the perfect solution for producing cineradiographic (sequential) imagery for research. Scandiflash MAT FXR tubes configured with arrays of four, six or eight anode/cathode pairs are available for Scandiflash SCF150, SCF300, SCF450 and SCF450S FXR systems. The anode/cathode pairs generate high-intensity pulses of X-radiation, individually or in sequence – with enough energy to penetrate 3–34 millimeters of steel. Combined with high-speed video cameras with 10,000–200,000 frame rates or ultra high-speed video cameras with 2 million plus frame rates and you’ll have a Flash X-ray system capable of cineradiographic imaging through a variety of materials for your research.

Scandiflash FXR System Components
everything you need to get the job done right
Pulsers (pulse generators)
Scandiflash FXR Systems use pulsers (high-voltage pulse generators) to generate high-intensity X-ray bursts (pulses) for radiography. Scandiflash pulsers are modified Marx surge generators – voltage multiplication is accomplished by charging capacitors in parallel and discharging them in series with spark gaps.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Grounded metal tanks are used to house pulser components – capacitors, spark gap switches and charging network. Pulser tanks are precision-built and pressurized with eco-friendly compressed dry air to improve insulation and control over spark gap switch breakdown voltage. The exceptional shielding properties of Scandiflash’s tanks, combined with the coaxial nature of capacitor discharge, lead to unusually low external radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation levels.

Flash X-ray tubes XT150, XT300L, XT450L & XT450SL and their right-angle versions, are self-contained X-ray sources, ready for remote operation, and connected to pulsers with a flexible high voltage coaxial cable. The Scandiflash FXR SCF1200 System with the PG1200 pulser features an internal XT1200A Flash X-ray tube connected directly to the pulser output.
Scandiflash Flash X-ray tubes are designed to be user serviceable – anode/cathode pairs can be easily swapped, providing a variety of focal spot sizes for your radiological research. Consumable parts worn from repeated exposure to high voltage (anodes, cathodes, X-ray tube windows and O-rings) can be replaced on-site at a fraction of the cost of a new tube to keep your research going strong and within budget. The Scandiflash RPS30H Service Station is the perfect mobile workbench for Flash X-ray tube maintenance.
Scandiflash XTR right-angle Flash X-ray tubes emit X-rays at a right angle to the tube axis. Right-angle Flash X-ray tubes are a perfect solution for a variety of experimental situations with easy setup. Scandiflash SCF300, SCF450 & SCF450S FXR Systems feature a dual tube adapter (DTA) option for using straight and right-angle Flash X-ray tubes simultaneously, poviding orthogonal Flash X-ray imaging for your research.
For applications where low energy radiation is essential for improving contrast, the optional Scandiflash SXA Soft X-ray Adapter Kit can be fitted to a Flash X-ray tube for reducing X-radiation transmission to a few kilovolts.
Focal Spot Size & Radiographs
Focal spot size plays an important role in the quality of radiographs – smaller focal spot sizes produce sharper radiographs.
Scandiflash Flash X-ray tubes feature a 1.5 mm diameter anode – an extremely small focal spot size resulting in sharp radiographs. Anodes with 2.5 mm and 4 mm diameters can be swapped, providing a variety of focal spot sizes for your research.

Scandiflash Multi-Anode FXR Tubes (MAT)
Cineradiographic Flash X-ray Imaging Made Easy
Scandiflash Multi-Anode Flash X-Ray Tubes (MAT) are used for cineradiographic Flash X-ray imaging – when closely spaced X-ray sources (anode/cathode pairs) are needed to minimize parallax for sequential exposures.
Scandiflash MAT X-ray tubes are unique vacuum chambers configured with an array of four, six or eight interchangeable anode/cathode pairs for sequential Flash X-ray imaging. Connected to a series of pulsers via high voltage coaxial cables, the anode/cathode pairs generate high-intensity pulses of X-radiation, individually or in sequence – with enough energy to penetrate 3–34 millimeters of steel, depending on the voltage range of the Scandiflash FXR system. Combined with high-speed video cameras with 10,000–200,000 frame rates or ultra high-speed video cameras with 2 million plus frame rates and you’ll have a Flash X-ray system capable of cineradiographic imaging through a variety of materials for your research.
