From the incredible pictures of outer space taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to the digital images through a microscope, Fairchild Imaging sensors have been employed for virtually every high-performance imaging application. Read more...

The first use of a Fairchild Imaging sensor in dental x-ray imaging was in 1988 when we developed our intra-oral sensor. Shortly thereafter we developed a line of extra-oral x-ray sensors for panoramic usage. Since that time tens of thousands of imaging assemblies using the patent protected Fairchild Imaging sensors have been supplied for both intra- and extra-oral use. Read more...
