The Digit-X Densitometer is a unique, hand held transmission densitometer, combining ease of use with high accuracy and repeatability. The fine fiber-optic probe allows small areas of film to be measured accurately with readings being displayed on the large clear LCD panel to 2 decimal places. Weighing in at just 6 oz. (175g) makes it easy to carry from place to place. Battery usage is minimal and a low battery warning indicator is provided on the digital display.
Digit-X can reliably read film densities up to a maximum of 4.0D. Simply place your QA film strip on a uniform light source, press the fiber optic tip of Digit-X evenly against the region of the film strip to be measured and push gently forwards. The film density will be shown on the LED display. A conveniently placed zero button resets the display between readings.
The Digit-X is currently offered for LED Type Viewers only.
A software update is expected later this year that will allow density measurements on Fluorescent type viewers. An additional update is expected in 2027 that will allow density measurements on both LED and Fluorescent type viewers using the same instrument.
The LED version of the Digit-x has been designed specifically to cope with the high brightness levels produced by LED viewers and to accommodate the high frequency of the light output.
NOTE: High brightness fluorescent viewers (85,000 cd/m2 and brighter) would be best suited to use the LED version of the Digit-X.
