Can any one recommends a good scanner with densitometer
which I can buy for x-ray image?
I don't want Bio-Rad.

Do you want a scanner for X-ray film (eg chemiluminesce/Western) or do you want a complete imaging system? If its the former, an easy solution is to get a good mid level (600x1200dpi resolution atleast) scanner from HP/Acer/Epson, and get densitometric software such as ImageQuant from Fuji or KDS-1D from Kodak to analyse the scanned images.

we use a 2400dpi HP scanner with NIH Image software (yeah it's old and only runs on mac os9...but that is what i have to use in my lab) which is pretty good and easy to use.

BTW, our institution just acquired the Fujifilm LAS-3000 Imaging System. It's quite expensive but it's versatile, as it can be used for fluorescence and luminiscence. I'm happy with it for now.

Yes! The Fujifilm system is really versatile - I miss it here in my new lab.
