Intensifying screens

Introduction to screens (ref):

  • standard
    • slow
    • calcium tungstate
  • rare earth
    • fast
    • gadolinium or lanthanum
    • Commercial brands: Kodak Lanex

There's a good vendor summary / cross reference chart here: http://www.mcio.com/Products/comparison-chart.aspx

I think the number following the name is generally the gain. That is a 400 screen will put out twice as much light per x-ray as a 200 screen They call this the “speed” presumably because it makes film expose faster. Chart here

Brands:

  • 3M
  • AGFA
  • DUPONT/STERLING
  • FUJI
  • JPI
  • KIRAN
  • KODAK
    • Lanex: rare earth green
  • KONICA
  • MCI OPTONIX

Following sections are for screens I own. Basically they were cheap on eBay
