Scandiflash develops and supplies flash X-ray systems for measuring fast-moving objects. Since 1968, the company has focused on studying dynamic events that cannot be captured by conventional cameras, for example when analysing high-speed projectiles. With hundreds of systems delivered in over 30 countries, Scandiflash has become a leading global supplier. The head office for development and production is located in Uppsala.
Instruments for materials research in dynamic processes
Space and Defense
The instruments in Scandiflash flash X-ray systems can capture high velocity and hypervelocity impacts of materials colliding with objects like space debris traveling in excess of 10 km/s where the materials vaporize on impact. The results give vital insight about material deformation.
From one fixed area of study at one moment in time, to 3D stereo imaging, to high-speed bursts of image sequences, to multi-area time sequence imaging along a trajectory, Scandiflash Flash X-ray tubes are designed to work individually, as well as in numerous combinations to reveal the most intricate and hidden details of the “hot spots” within your dynamic events. Combine any of these four setups and you’ll be able you to study any scenario you can imagine!
Electronics and electrical breakdown studies
Scandiflash X-ray imaging can monitor events inside closed constructions such as high-voltage electronics, so you can perform breakdown studies in environments not accessible with optical methods.
How does flash x ray work?
From visual obstruction to fast moving objects, flash X-ray let’s you see the nearly impossible events that aren’t visible to the human eye. Check out the video below to learn more about how Scandiflash systems work.

- Scandiflash flash X-ray systems generate an extremely short exposure time X-ray pulse of 20 ns that enables the study of dynamic events in excess of 10 km/s allowing you to see the nearly impossible. Our instruments can be used in a diversity of fields ranging from collision & fluid mechanics to geology to test beds for large-scale facility experiments – like free electron laser setups.
- Scandiflash flash X-ray systems enable up to 8 images with individual time stamps at a frame rate of 1,000,000 fps per system, and multiple systems can operate in parallel. The extremely short exposure times can freeze dynamic events in the form of X-ray images allowing you to see the nearly impossible – penetrating everything from smoke to several centimeters of steel.
