Lexsyg Smart TL/OSL Reader



Lexsyg Smart TL/OSL Reader

Automated TL/OSL Reader for Luminescence Measurement

The Lexsyg Smart is an automated thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) reader with thermal and optical stimulation capabilities. The system uses two removable 40-position sample carousels.

The measurement chamber and sample changer operate independently. An interchangeable OSL stimulation unit can be configured with up to three wavelengths and supports Continuous Wave OSL (CW-OSL), Linear Modulated OSL (LM-OSL), and Pulsed OSL (POSL) measurement modes.

The Lexsyg Smart supports applications across luminescence dating, dosimetry, material research, and other areas of luminescence measurement.

Features

Thermal Stimulation

  • Ceramic heating element
  • Temperature range from room temperature up to 710 °C
  • Programmable heating and cooling rates from 0.1 to 20 °C/s
  • Heating-element cooling using a continuous flow of nitrogen or compressed air

Optical Stimulation

  • Interchangeable OSL stimulation unit configurable with up to three wavelengths
  • High-power LED and laser-diode stimulation sources
  • Feedback-stabilized OSL stimulation
  • Continuous Wave OSL (CW-OSL)
  • Linear Modulated OSL (LM-OSL)
  • Pulsed OSL (POSL)
  • Software-controlled detection-filter changes within programmed measurement sequences

Sample Handling and Operation

  • Two removable 40-position sample carousels
  • Independent operation of the measurement chamber and sample changer
  • Samples can be loaded or unloaded while a measurement is underway
  • Remote support capability

Applications

  • Luminescence dating
  • Material research
  • Authenticity testing
  • Accident dosimetry
  • Radiation protection
  • Food irradiation
  • Solid-state dosimetry
  • Bioluminescence
