Faxitron DX-50 Teardown

Teardown of a Faxitron DX-50 cabinet x-ray system, the unit was damaged in shipping resulting an a broken x-ray tube and bad power supply. The unit is dismantled and analyzed.

 

Radiation Shielded Camera 4 / Gear 360 Videos

 

 

Radiation Shielded Camera Version 4

A GoPro Hero 3+ silver, GoPro Session, Gear360, and Casio Exilim EX-ZR200, were shielded with lead and sent through an industrial irradiator while viewing plastic and mineral samples. Radcam version 4 is an improved version of earlier Radcam versions including two GoPro cameras, a 1000fps high speed camera, a 360 degree panoramic camera, and a high range ion chamber connected to a high speed data logger. Data and videos taken are used to corilate the detected x-ray speckle on the video with actual x-ray radiation levels in the irradiator.

Radiation Shielded Camera Version 3

A GoPro Hero 3+ silver camera and thermal-eye 2500AS thermal imager were shielded with lead and sent through an industrial irradiator while viewing plastic and mineral samples. Radcam version 3 is an improved version of radcam2 including a thermal imager, more secure camera mounts, and external power feedthroughs for the Gopro alowing charging inside the lead box. The plastics were used to produce lichtenberg figures.
