Clinical Overview
The NANOPIX 1 is an ultra-thin (4.4 mm), high-resolution digital intraoral sensor using APS CMOS technology paired with direct-deposition CsI scintillator. It delivers rapid, reliable imaging in under 3–6 seconds, automatically triggered by the X‑ray generator, making it a cost-effective and efficient alternative to film and phosphor plates.
Key Benefits
- Ultra-thin, ergonomic design (4.4 mm) with cupped cable connection for patient comfort and optimal finger placement.
- Rapid image acquisition: 3 seconds to process high-resolution radiographs—20 lp/mm true resolution.
- Long-term durability: over 50,000 exposures and 70,000+ bending cycles without image degradation.
- AED (Automatic Exposure Detection): no buttons—automated capture with most DC/AC X‑ray units.
- High-end build: 16-bit A/D conversion, CMOS sensor, CsI scintillator, and IP68 waterproof/dustproof rating.
- Cost-effective imaging: roughly 1/10th the per-image cost compared to analog film.
