the object to be X-rayed. Imager should be placed as close to the object as possible. Distance between XR150
and imager is usually 24 to 72 inches (30 to 180 cm). During operation XR150 should be stabilized on a at
surface, a tripod, or a custom xture suitable for holding the 5 pound (2.2 Kg) XR150.
