Overview
The MSL5201 T-Image Platform is a scanning platform for the Luna T-Ray 5000, a compact pulsed terahertz measurement system designed for industrial environments. The T-Ray 5000 uses replaceable fiber coupled sensor heads, so the system can be configured for a specific application.
In reflection mode, the fiber coupled sensor heads deliver a picosecond duration T-Ray pulse, which allows scanned images to be produced at high speed. Mounting the heads in transmission and the sample on the translation stage produces transmission images.
The platform can be positioned for horizontal or vertical scanning. The transmitter and receiver can be set up in transmission geometry, or in collinear reflection geometry with the Collinear Adapter. The MSL5201 moves at speeds up to 150 mm/sec and provides step resolutions below 30 microns.
The motors include the required amplifier and encoder, which allows images to be acquired at speeds up to 1000 pixels per second. An embedded motion controller is configured by software running on the Terahertz Control Unit.
