At ASNT 2024, Photonis, under the Exosens brand, is presenting its innovative Neutronis project. This development promises to change the paradigm of neutron imaging by offering a comprehensive system designed for industrial laboratories. Serge, a representative of Exosens, explained the details during his participation at the event.
Neutronis: A revolutionary system for neutron detection
Neutronis is distinguished by its extremely sensitive detection technology, which is necessary to overcome the limitations inherent to neutron sources. “Imaging neutrons in your own lab is very challenging, especially because of the source,” Serge commented. Unlike X-ray systems, neutron sources are considerably less intense, making an effective detector imperative. The Neutronis project addresses this need with a design that allows for unique contrasts in images.
Disruptive business model
Exosens is looking to break new ground. Serge emphasized: “Our explicit intention is to offer this as a complete system, just like X-rays, directly in your lab.” Currently, only a few locations around the world offer this service, but Photonis plans to bring the technology to a larger number of users with a price tag in the $2 million range.
Global Expansion and Support
Although the company has not confirmed names yet, Serge mentioned that they are in negotiations with a potential partner in the United States for technical support. The plan is to collaborate with global integrators and distributors to ensure that Neutronis users receive the necessary service.
Reception and expectations at ASNT 2024
The launch of Neutronis has generated interest among attendees. “The reception has definitely been very good,” Serge noted. In addition, Photonis is ready for the upcoming technical presentation, which is sure to attract even more attention. ASNT 2024, which runs through October 24, has brought together more than 2,200 industry professionals, offering a perfect stage to highlight these pioneering technologies.
Photonis, with more than 85 years of leadership in electro-optical technologies, continues to innovate with projects such as Neutronis, consolidating its reputation in sectors such as defense, industrial control and scientific research.
