• If the contrast is poor because the sample is being over-penetrated, decrease the X-ray
energy (kV).
• If the image is too dark, increase the flux (µA).
• If the image is saturated, and you cannot see detail, decrease the flux (µA).
• Ensure that the image is sharp with the focus control.
A Supervisor can define and save imaging presets for a particular inspection and sample

appropriate imaging preset.

information.
Use the Inspect-X image-processing tools to optimise and enhance an X-ray image. For
example, the Tone tool allows the contrast and brightness of an image to be enhanced and
adjusted. This can be useful if you want to accentuate specific features within an X-ray
image.
For detailed descriptions of the Tone tool and the other
image-processing functions, see the Inspect-X Online Help or User
Manuals.
