PX ULTRA Handheld Backscatter X Ray Imaging System
The PX ULTRA (by Videray, distributed by unival group) is a state-of-the-art handheld X-ray imager designed to 'see through' materials such as steel, aluminum, wood, and rubber. It utilizes an industry-leading 160 keV X-ray source to penetrate barriers and create high-resolution images of hidden objects. The system is designed for non-intrusive inspection, allowing operators to detect contraband, weapons, and threats without opening or damaging the target object. It features a built-in screen for immediate image analysis and is built on an Android operating system.
