Abstract
An X-ray radioscope includes: an X-ray source that radially emits X-ray; a sample holder configured to hold a sample, the sample holder placed in front of the X-ray source in order for the sample to be irradiated by X-ray emitted from the X-ray source; a planar CCD including CCDs planarly arranged, the planar CCD being placed away from the sample holder to detect X-ray transmitted through the sample such that the planar CCD obtains X-ray transmission image of the sample; and a movement unit configured to move the planar CCD and the sample holder relative to each other in synchronization with obtaining the X-ray transmission image by the planar CCD, wherein the planar CCD has 500 or more pixels along the movement direction relative to the sample.
Claims9
An X-ray radioscope, comprising:
- an X-ray source that radially emits X-rays;
- a sample holder that holds a sample, the sample holder placed in front of the X-ray source in order for the sample to be irradiated by X-rays emitted from the X-ray source;
- a planar charge coupled device (CCD) including CCDs planarly arranged, the planar CCD being placed away from the sample holder to detect X-rays transmitted through the sample such that the planar CCD obtains an X-ray transmission image of the sample;
- and
- a movement unit that moves the planar CCD and the sample holder relative to each other in synchronization with obtaining the X-ray transmission image by the planar CCD,
- wherein the planar CCD has 500 or more pixels along a movement direction relative to the sample, and
- wherein the planar CCD is arranged so that in relative movement of the sample holder and the planar CCD, imaging ranges are adjacent to each other in a direction perpendicular to the relative movement direction of the sample and a central axis of the X-ray, and
- the X-ray radioscope further comprises two or more planar CCDs with different charge transfer directions from each other.
