Introducing MIRRORCLE-CV4

The MIRRORCLE CV series products are perhaps the most revolutionary in the Photon Production Ltd. They are the smallest X-ray converter magnet system designed by Photon Production Laboratory and are characterized by the following unique attributes:
MIRRORCLE-CV4 Schematic

MIRRORCLE-CV4 was designed with the capability of forming part of a field based mobile non-destructive testing platform. Shown below is an example truck based configuration with MIRRORCLE-CV4 capable of performing NDT inspection of bridges, buildings, and other structures normally inaccessible to this type of testing.

Like with other MIRRORCLE products, X-ray output is highly dependent on the interchangeable target positioned in the electron beam inside the X-ray converter magnet system. This is a very active area of research and most likely existing product will be able to take advantage of future target improvements. The graph below shows the output spectrum of MIRRORCLE-CV1 and MIRRORCLE-CV4 using different materials for a particular physical target configuration.

While we have discussed a couple of example applications, there are many more possible applications where MIRRORCLE CV series products would excel. We welcome discussions on any potential MIRRORCLE applications you might have.

MIRRORCLE-CV series products are production products that are ready to meet your requirements today. Please contact us for more information.
