• Rh/Rh measurement capability when
The Model 35080B Non-invasive kVp Divider contains a pair of precision detectors Model 35080B Non-invasive kVp
that produces a ratio signal when exposed to X-rays. This ratio signal is proportional Divider is used with Cadmium K-edge

current, and represent a real-time measurement.
Each filter pack that is used with the Model 35080B Non-invasive kVp Divider
contains a pair of filters of different thicknesses. The filters of an installed filter

pack are positioned directly above the detectors of the Non-invasive kVp Divider.
Because the filters have different thicknesses, the quantity of X-rays reaching each
detector is different. The resulting ratio signal depends directly on tube voltage.
Filter thicknesses are selected to produce the most accurate readings for a given
kV range.
