W1 - Unrivaled near-water equivalent characteristics produce a more natural dose measurement. When combined with the SuperMAX, the W1 eases data collection by eliminating many measurement corrections required with other detectors.
W2 - Does not perturb small field dose distributions when it’s placed in the beam, so you can measure small fields with greater accuracy – ideal for SRS.
The scintillator system features Čerenkov corrections that are built into the MAX SD, a dedicated optical detection and signal processing unit that comes with the scintillator. Point measurements can be performed directly with the W2 and MAX SD. Corrected measurements can also be converted to a proportional analog output that can be read by any electrometer. This functionality enables the W2 system to be connected to a water phantom for scanning measurements.
