Specifications
Background and Scope
USDA-ARS in Manhattan, KS is in need of a self-contained cabinet x-ray system that is capable of imaging seeds (including corn, wheat, sorghum, and rice) infested with various species of internal feeding stored product insects (such as lesser grain borer, larger grain borer, rice weevil, maize weevil, and Indianmeal moth). The x-ray system must be capable of detecting multiple life stages, including small larvae, pupae, and adults, and eggs of some larger stored product insects species. To accomplish this, we require the following specifications and we propose that the Kubtec Xpert 80 Scientific, 90kV.
Requirements
1. 16-bit contrast or 65,536 shades of gray per image
2. 40-90 kV X-ray source
3. Up to 5x Geometric Magnification
4. Resolution greater than 100 lp/mm
5. Focal spot size of 3-5 um
6. CMOS Detector size 10” x 12” with a 90 kV x-ray source
7. Proprietary BLENDER software feature to combine X-ray and optical images in a single view
8. Integrated optical camera for High-Resolution optical imaging
9. Seed Analyzer Software, capable of counting insect infested seeds
10. Installation and training must be included.
11. Ability to save images to a variety of different file formats, including TIFF and JPEG.
12. No consumable items (e.g., sample containers) required for normal operations.
13. Free-standing system with dimensions of 24” L x 24” W x 66.5” H.
14. Must included a standard wheeled cart system to allow for the system to easily be wheeled to a lab or storage area by one person.
15. Foldable arm to hold monitor and keyboard that can be folded flat against the system for easy storage.
16. Moveable monitor/keyboard arm, allowing for user to operate the system from either seated or standing positions.
17. Simple one-button operation with no specialized training required.
18. X-ray system must be self-contained and fully shielded.
19. The Kubetec Xpert 80 Scientific, 90kV instrument meets all of these specifications.
