High-Efficiency Dental X-Ray Sensor for Immediate Imaging with Windows OS Support

You’re setting up for an oral surgery case and need to see the root apex clearly—this sensor gives you 14lp/mm true resolution, which is about what you’d expect form a solid clinical-grade CMOS with a GOS scintillator, and the 18.5µm pixel pitch means you’re not losing fine trabecular detail in the mandible.

It draws 500mA max at 5V through a standdard USB 2.0 port, so you can plug it straight into a laptop without an external power brick, but check that your USB controller can hold 4.25V minimum under load—some older machines drop votage and the sensor won’t initialize properly.

We ship Size 1 (27.5x38.5mm active area 22.5x30mm) and Size 2 (32.3x44.3mm active area 27x36mm) in a sealed antistatic bag with a control box that’s 92x66x28mm, and what it does is basically work with any Windows-based imaging software that accepts TWAIN drivers—Kodak, Sirona, Schick, you name it.

The digitization is 12 bits per pixel, which is actually better than some older sensors that only give you 10-bit depth, so you get smoother gradation in low-contrast areas like pulp chambers, and the theoretical 27lp/mm limit means you’re not hitting the Nyquist ceiling unless you’re pushing pixel-peeping on a 4K monitor.

We’ve got CE certs on file and COAs from the factory, but confirm the lead time if you need more than 50 units—stock fluctuates (usually 2-4 weeks), and we don’t hold inventory for SCS-HDR 500-1 model year-round, so it’s worth checking before you commit.

: this sensor isn’t designed for pediatric or endodontic use with very small sensors—Size 1 is still 22.5x30mm active, which is too large for many bitewing setups on children, so you’d want a smaller format for that.
