Extract

Photographs of x-ray transmission images by x-ray films have been used for observing the inside nondestructively. Further, Imaging Plates(IP) are used for precise measurements of x-ray diffraction patterns. But, these integrating area detectors are not suitable for real time nor time resolved measurements. For real time and time resolved measurements, the X-Ray Image Intensifier(XRII, a large image tube that converts an x-ray image into a visible image) is used for biological x-ray TV systems, x-ray nondestructive inspection systems etc. These TV x-ray image systems require high energy x-rays, x-ray tube voltage of 30 to 150 kV, and show faint contrast for x-ray images of light element substances owing to its low absorption coefficients. However, light elements have intense x-ray absorption coefficients in a low energy x-ray region, x-ray tube voltage of 5 to 20 kV, and give fine contrast for x-ray images of light element substances.
