Lucidyne GradeScan - Tracheid Sensor
A characteristic of softwood tracheid cells is that they are aligned end-to-end with the grain and when light strikes them, they will channel some of the light along the cells in the direction of the grain. The grain direction and other important fiber information can be characterized using a Tracheid camera to detect this property. GradeScan uses its Tracheid sensor to provide information on all four faces of a board. This sensor's data helps GradeScan ...

GradeScan - Throughboard Sensor
Being able to measure the density of lumber is quite helpful when trying to grade a board. Lucidyne does this for dry lumber (wet lumber looks very dense) by taking advantage of the dielectric properties of wood. It is possible to send an electrical signal through wood fiber and image the amplitude of the energy that passes through it. Lucidyne's 'Throughboard' sensor provides an image that closely approximates the relative density of a board. In ...
