ProductsOur selection of scintillators for neutron imaging
Gd2O2S: Tb-screens
Scintillation screens for very high resolution measurements.
Gd has highest cross capture section to make scintillation thicknesses of 10 µm and below possible to reach highest possible resolution. The emission maximum at 549 nm matches very good with standard CCD-Cameras.
6LiF / Gd2O2S:Tb-screens
New development to increase the light output of the scintillator with still very high resolution. Emission maximum at 549 nm. The addition of 6LiF give a 30-50% higher brightness with same resolution!
Isotopically enriched 157-Gd Scintillation screen
In 2015 Pavel Trtik from PSI was able to develop as part of the neutron microscopy project a 157Gd scintillator with outstanding resolution. These scintillators are currently the best on the market in terms of resolution. Details can be found in the publication (Nucl. Inst. Meth. A, 2015, 788, 67 ).
Standard scintillation screens based on Gd2O2S:Tb or Gd3Al3Ga2O12:Ce:
| Base material | Emission | Dimension | Thickness | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 157Gd2O2S:Tb | 447 / 549 nm (blue-green) | 11 x 11 mm2 | ~5 µm | Best resolution |
| Gd2O2S:Tb | 447 / 549 nm (blue-green) | up to 600 x 600 mm2 | 10 up to 40 µm | Very high resolution |
| Gd2O2S:Tb / 6LiF (20%) | 447 / 549 nm (blue-green) | up to 600 x 600 mm2 | 10 up to 50 µm | Very high resolution with enhanced intensity |
| Gd3Al2Ga3O12:Ce | 535 nm (green) | up to 600 x 600 mm2 | 10 up to 100 µm | Very high resolution and very short decay (~30 µs) |
