GE Film Digitizer

FS50 / FS50B

GE Film Digitizers FS50 / FS50B

are designed to provide high-end per-

formance in ﬁlm digitizing, offering su-

perior quality at high throughput. The

steel housing gives the robustness

needed for the industrial environment

of NDT applications. All standard ﬁlm

formats can be digitized, up to a width

of 14 inch (35 cm), without length limi-

tation in any resolution between 50 µm

and 500 µm. The FS50B is the ﬁrst and

only digitizer on the market that can

handle the full density range (D = 0 up

to 4.70 D) in one working range with

the requested contrast sensitivity. This

makes the scanner meet the require-

ments for class DS ﬁlm digitizers, ac-

cording to EN 14096 part 2. This clas-

siﬁcation has been evaluated and con-

ﬁrmed by BAM, the German Federal

Institute for Materials Research and

Testing.

The system employs a HeNe laser

beam, which sweeps across the ﬁlm by

a polygon mirror system. The F-Teta

lens avoids distortions of the image, by

keeping the optical distance of the la-

ser beam unchanged at all spots of the

scanned area. The logarithmic ampli-

ﬁcation process guarantees high sig-

nal to noise ratios up to 4.70 density

(FS50B).

Every scanner is calibrated and characterized at the time of shipment, and a unit-speciﬁc LUT is delivered with each machine. This guarantees an artifact-free scanning at the highest possible precision, repeatability and speed. A 14 x 17 inch ﬁlm can be digitized in as little as 7 seconds. The cost-effective ﬁlm digitization solution for anyone handling archives, for easy image transfer or for using the advanced viewing features of the GE Inspection Technologies system.
