The advanced viewing capabilities of the Revolution X-ray inspection system include a Quad View facility and dual LCD monitors to enhance its viewing capabilities and usability. The Quad View facility allows four images to be displayed at once, which enables a more thorough inspection of substrates and is a useful tool for image comparison for operators. This facility is supported by dual LCD monitors that provide a means to separate X-ray images from the software control to enable clutter-free viewing. By allowing samples to be safely placed within 250 µm of the focal spot, the Revolution can provide up to 13000× system magnification at all angles over the entire 400 × 400mm manipulator scan area. In addition, the patented X-Tek Xi “Open Tube” X-ray source is smaller than any other design and allows X-ray images of fine detail in thick and dense samples to be seen with ease.
