| HOW Secure 1000 TECHNOLOGY WORKS
A Backscatter image is produced as a result of Compton Scattering. When the emitted beam contacts organic materials, it is “scattered back” toward the system. The information is received by high resolution detectors and passed to advanced image processing software to display both organic and inorganic materials to the operator while protecting the privacy of the person being screened.
