X-LITE is used to check light and radiation field coincidence.It consists of a fluorescent plate, active area 20x20 cm with scales. The plate is activated by exposure to ionising radiation, which produces fluorescence with a lifetime of few minutes.

A removable red filter over the active surface protects the fluorescent plate from activation by ambient light or by the gantry field light. After irradiation the fluorescent response can be compared with the set-up field size on the scale.
