2. Intuitive Operation
Automatic optimization of imaging conditions
Operators simply place the specimen and activate the X-ray. The µB1600 automatically adjusts contrast and exposure settings to capture the specimen under optimal conditions.
3. Versatile Functionality
Standard inclusion of advanced image processing and measurement software
The µB1600 is equipped with extensive functions suitable for both analysis and routine inspection. The user-friendly interface ensures smooth operation, even for inexperienced operators.
Leading Edge Technology in compact body
World's FirstMicrofocus X-ray
The µB1600 has an internal microfocus X-ray source creating ultra-high image quality in spite of its compact size. The integration of 60kV and 150µA X-ray tube and Matsusada Precision's high-voltage technique has succeeded in developing a small-sized and high-performance X-ray generator.
Digital X-ray camera
A digital X-ray camera with a flat panel is used in the imaging part. The high-resolution camera with one million pixels of 1024 ×1024 clearly detects an object aimed at. Images with no distortion in every detail can be obtained.
14-bit digital data
High-definition data with 1.5 million pixels are imported by 14-bit. The images can be processed and analyzed flexibly afterward.
High-precision stage
The series has the rotatable stage along with the three axes of X, Y axes and variable enlargement ratio axis, enabling transmission from any angle. Moreover, it meets your needs for more detailed imaging for smaller parts. It can also detect floating BGAs.

Functions
Ultimate Operability
Automatic conditioning function
The system tracks usage history and automatically selects the appropriate conditioning process based on the elapsed time since the last operation. This ensures optimal performance and significantly extends the life of the X-ray tube.
Auto contrast adjustment function
Images shot by 14-bit are displayed in optimal gradation sequence. Variations by photographers (e.g., dark images, whitish images, etc) can be eliminated to always display optimally. Even a first-timer does not miss the points that he or she wants to observe. It is also possible to display any given tonal range.
Automatic Shutoff Function
To prevent accidental continuous operation, the automatic shutoff function turns off the X-ray output after a pre-set time. This feature enhances safety and energy efficiency if the operator leaves the device unattended.
Data storage (bmp, jpg, tif)
Images both before and after analyses can be easily saved. Extensions including bmp, jpg, and tif can be selected depending on the extendability. Once saved data can be read out and analyzed repeatedly by the analysis software.
Smooth & Easy Operation even for first-timers
Image analysis
The brand new image analysis software dedicated for our x-ray inspection system can controls the stage and X-ray with easily operations and is equipped with various image processing and measurement functions.

Reduced display function
The moving image window displays not only high-resolution images with one million pixels but also reduced images allowing specimens to be inspected compared with the images on the static image window.

Filter function
The µB1600 supports ten or more types of filtering and image processing, allowing detailed image analyses. Images can be analyzed in real-time by performing appropriate filtering for displaying moving images.

Image analyze window function variety
Display range window
The contrast can be enhanced manually by setting any given densities based on the histogram of shot images.
Brightness adjustment
Brightness values of shot images can be adjusted freely by adjusting gain, contrast and gamma values individually.
Histogram display
The µB1600 displays a histogram to indicate the distribution of brightness of shot images.
Binarizing processing
A shot image can be displayed in a binary manner by contrast by setting a threshold and binarizing the image.
Area calculating
The µB1600 can measure the areas, number of holes, area of holes and area ratio of an object in a shot image.
Size measurement
Sizes in a captured image can be measured by drawing measurement lines on the shot image.
Shift by click
Click on an image, and quickly move to the location you want to observe.
In addition to normal stage operation, the clicked section becomes centered.
Stitching Function (Interlink)
The Interlink function allows for the capture of large samples (up to 4.72" x 4.72") that cannot be viewed in a single shot. By stitching multiple images together, the system creates a complete overview of the sample. Users can then navigate to specific points of interest simply by clicking on the stitched image.
Teaching function
The teaching function moves the stage automatically to the pre-registered points. This allows the system to "learn" problem areas and capture them on an X-ray image automatically. Setting X-ray output, enlargement factor and stop time, etc., for each point supports various test objectives. The teaching function moves the stage automatically to the pre-registered points. This allows the system to "learn"
