Photon Collecting System (PCS)
Photon Collecting System (PCS)
With the Dürr PCS technology, it is the laser that turns, instead of the image plates on a drum. This delivers an outstanding image quality in no time at all.
Guaranteed future with the 2nd generation of PCS scanners.
Dürr PCS – Photon Collecting System (Patent DE 19942211C2) – since its introduction in the 2002, it has revolu- tionised the power of modern dental scanners worldwide. The fast turning and super fine laser, the double reflec- tive parabolic mirrors and the powerful photomultiplier are key features. They were all developed by Dürr Dental in Germany.
The results of these features are: best resolution, largest grey scale range, maximum data efficiency and, therefore, highest exposure sensitivity. Even in markets such as the US or Japan, Dürr PCS is the leading tech- nology for dental scanners. PCS is constantly developed and refined and can now be seen with the new Dürr VistaScan.
PCS technology is currently even ahead of the development of image plates, as the VistaScan Perio can obtain a theo- retical resolution of 40 LP/mm, while the latest image plate generation offers only about 22 LP/mm, which is on par with film. In any case, a decision for the Dürr VistaScan Perio today ensures that future advances in plate technolo- gy are already catered for.
