Radiation Windows &
Doors
SHIELDING & PROTECTION
We work within project requirements to build suitable purpose-built assemblies for medical, scientific, industrial and optical environments.
Radiation windows refer to specific ranges of wavelengths or frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum through which certain types of radiation can pass with minimal absorption.
These windows allow scientists and researchers to observe and measure radiation in various applications, including astronomy, spectroscopy, and medical imaging.
X-Ray Windows
In X-ray imaging and analysis, materials that are transparent to X-rays are used as windows to allow the X-rays to pass through. Materials like beryllium and certain polymers are often employed for X-ray windows.
X-ray windows are crucial in medical imaging, industrial inspection, and scientific research, where X-rays need to be directed or detected.
Optical Windows
In the field of optics, an optical window is a range of wavelengths in which a material is transparent. Materials used for optical windows are selected based on their ability to transmit specific wavelengths of light without significant absorption.
For example, in visible light, glass is often used as an optical window. It allows light to pass through, making it suitable for lenses and optical instruments.
Infrared Windows
Infrared radiation windows are materials that are transparent to specific infrared wavelengths. Different materials are chosen based on the application’s desired range of infrared radiation.
For example, some types of glass and certain crystalline materials are transparent in the infrared spectrum, allowing for the creation of infrared optics.
