An optional variable gain configuration is available for increased flexibility.  A free-standing control unit, operating from 110V/60Hz power, provides independent gain control on both the video signal and the image intensifier.  The camera can then be fine-tuned for a wide range of flux conditions.  

The X-Ray Eye has been designed to work down to levels far below that where a direct fluorescent screen can be used, and incorporates a special image intensifier in order to achieve this sensitivity. Designed to meet the budgets available for such tools, the X-Ray Eye offers surprising performance at an affordable cost, the outlay soon being recovered by the immense man-hour saving it makes possible. And of course, it's the unproductive man-hours that the X-Ray Eye eliminates; now your time in the x-ray lab can be spent taking data, not in frustrating, slow adjustments.

The X-Ray Eye is also invaluable for the alignment of experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities where there is only remote access to the beam.
