Product

Camera and software built as one inspection workflow.

01

Capture

Put the camera at a suitable distance and collect image data from the target area.

02

Analyse

Use software to capture the alpha signal and show the alpha distribution.

03

Report

The software automatically generates a detailed report for review and record keeping.

Hardware

Long-range alpha camera

VisionAlpha long-range alpha detector camera hardware with CCD, UV filters, and depth camera

The camera integrates the sensing, filtering, and visual context needed to detect alpha contamination remotely.

  • Ultra-sensitive CCD: captures the faint alpha-induced optical signal.
  • Switchable high-blocking multi-layer filter system: isolates characteristic UV emission while suppressing background light. A 337 nm channel is used in low-UV environments such as indoor areas, gloveboxes, and night-time operation, while a <280 nm solar-blind channel enables detection in environments with strong sunlight.
  • Co-aligned depth camera: provides visual context for rapid localisation and depth information for calculating alpha activity.

Software

Control, overlay, quantify, and save survey data.

VisionAlpha software for alpha contamination mapping and activity quantification
  • Full camera control over various parameters.
  • Automated image capture and data saving.
  • Remote operation via Wi-Fi or 4G.
  • Overlays the alpha signal onto the visible background for precise localisation.
  • Shows alpha activity by clicking any pixel in the image.

Report intelligence

Local interpretation without sending sensitive data away.

VisionAlpha automated alpha contamination survey report generated locally

The reporting workflow integrates image recognition with a locally deployed large language model, helping users interpret results and generate clear explanations without requiring an internet connection or sharing survey data with external services.

  • Automated report generation from captured image data.
  • Local analysis for sensitive nuclear or industrial environments.
  • Readable summaries that support faster review and communication.
