The figure shows a scanning device where the object is moved between the X-ray line camera and the X-ray tube (5) using the MCU.

The object is placed on the object holder (4). The object holder is mounted on a linear translation stage. The MCU (1) receives the command to capture an image from the connected PC and subsequently starts the stepper motor of the manipulator (2). This moves the object through the X-ray beam at a constant speed. During this movement, the MCU continuously reads out the X-ray line camera (3) and transfers the data to the PC. The PC then assembles the scanned image lines into an X-ray image.
