  • Abstract
    Video-rate THz reflection imaging, at 450 GHz using a high-resolution INO 384×288 pixel camera core, of pills in blister packs further contained within their final commercial packages is reported. These results open the door to deployable real-time THz cameras for see-through imaging applications, providing a tool for NDE quality control and security inspection of goods within their final packaging.
