Knowing about Your Film Digitizer
The MII-800XL Plus is a film digitizer, which is specifically designed for the use of
the RT X-ray film scanning. Features include 16-bit grayscale, resolution of 3200
dpi, and scanning area of 12" x 16", which easily transfer industrial RT X-ray
films into digital format images. The MII-800XL Plus can capture details in bright
and dark areas of industrial RT X-ray films and provide the professionals a
convenient method to digitize the physical originals for the electric data storage,
saving maintenance time and storage space enormously.
Features of the MII-800XL Plus
• Smart-Touch button : A Smart-Touch button (Scan) locating at the front panel
of the scanner provides you a quick and easy way to capture images that can
be automatically saved as files or sent to another application for further
processing later.
• Adjustable Exposure Time — By the help of the ScanWizard Industry, a
scanning software bundled with the MII-800XL Plus, users are allowed to
adjust the exposure time for film manually. This method enhances the
visibility of extreme dark film, delivering a better scanning result and
improving the quality of saved files.
• Self-calibrating — The MII-800XL Plus adopts new technology and thus is
able to self-calibrate every time when the system is powered up, minimizing
the influence from the storing environment and ensuring optimal scan quality.
• Energy-saving LED light source: Adopting LEDs as the light source, when the
scanner is detected by the system, there are no requirements for any warm-up
time before carrying out the scan, which boots your productivity and reduces
energy costs amazingly. With its stable performance, the image quality will
remain consistent even after used for a certain period of time.
• Tremendous Image Quality — With a high resolution of 3200 dpi, the 16-bit
grayscale, and a high dynamic range of 4.7 maximum optical density, the
MII-800XL Plus is able to capture a wide range of gray tones, providing
excellent details and better visibility when digitizing industrial RT X-ray films.
• Exclusive Film Holders — These specially designed industrial film holders are
used to hold films in place. By loading industrial film holders on the scan bed
before scanning film, you can ensure perfect alignment of your scanned
images and achieve consistent scans. The MII-800XL Plus provides three
types of industrial film holders 6.5" x 3.5", 8.5" x 4.5", and 12" x 3 1/3"
for scanning industrial RT X-ray films.
• Large-size scan bed — The flatbed of the MII-800XL Plus lets you easily
digitize various sizes of industrial RT X-ray films up to 12"x16", which offers
more flexibility in physical records digitizing.
• Easy to operate, clean and maintain — The MII-800XL Plus requires virtually
no routine maintenance and no daily cleaning, which is ideal for busy
radiology departments.
