Introduction and Basics
Sample Placement
This topic covers the placement of items in the cabinet. Proper positioning is simple, yet it is
essential to accurate imaging.
Your Sprite system includes canisters and accessories to help ensure the proper placement of
your sample between the X-ray source and the detector. Items that may be used for sample
placement include plastic canisters with specific scanning regions marked, Styrofoam canisters
with shelves or cut-outs for specific samples, open platforms, and a variety of soft foams. These
items are called fixtures. Each of Sprite's fixtures and calibration phantoms is tagged with an
RFID card or sticker.
Canisters and Platforms
Each stage is color coded and has a specific canister and/or platform for its size.
Each canister has Styrofoam inserts to insure the correct placement of the sample within
parameters marked on the canister. These parameters guarantee that your sample will be within
the X-ray scanning field.
Platforms have Styrofoam disks to help adjust height of the item. Other soft foams may also be
used for proper sample placement within the canister or platform.
Calibration Phantoms
Calibration phantoms can be placed directly on the stage.
Sprite comes with color-coded aluminum cylinders, or "calibration phantoms", for each stage . To
test and calibrate the overall imaging system in Sprite, each stage should be regularly (we
recommend monthly) calibrated. This calibration is referred to as a "System Calibration". You
may run a "Validation" to confirm that the system is calibrated correctly.
