Innovations in real-time x-ray inspection technology since 1983

(Randolph, NJ) - Glenbrook Technologies celebrates 26 years of innovation in the development of real-time x-ray imaging systems used for the inspection of electronic components, medical devices and animal based biomedical research. Applications include the screening of “at-risk” mail and ensuring the quality of electronic components and assemblies in laboratories and production facilities worldwide.

Glenbrook's patented x-ray microscope technology is incorporated into its family
of compact, cost-effective, fluoroscopic systems offering unmatched magnification, sensitivity and resolution. Glenbrook systems are being used in more than 1,700 facilities in 43 countries around the world.

Founded in 1983, Glenbrook pioneered the use of real-time x-ray inspection technology in electronic fabrication. Subsequently, the company's patented innovations in real-time x-ray imaging have been extended to other critical medical and security applications. Glenbrook’s technology is now used by most major medical device manufacturers in the USA, in development and production, and in pre-clinical and research studies, to ensure the quality of medical implants.

In 2009, Glenbrook's founder and president Gil Zweig became the recipient of two very prestigious awards. Both awards honor Glenbrook for the development of its High Resolution Low Dose Magnifying X-ray Fluooscope and System, which was issued U.S. Patent No 7,426,258. It produces highly magnified fluoroscopic images that reveal tiny anatomical details, and displays them on a video monitor in full motion, using very low levels of radiation.

Zweig notes that “Thomas Edison demonstrated the first x-ray fluoroscope, as reported by the New York Times, on May 12, 1896. It has taken Glenbrook 113 years to improve on it. We are proud to continue to develop the technology initiated by Mr. Edison.” The x-ray machine, invented in 1895, was recently named the most significant scientific invention of past centuries in an online poll of nearly 50,000 people conducted by the Science Museum in London.
