Custom made X-ray Radiography system

A custom-built setup designed for in situ imaging of evolving microstructures/phase fronts in thin radiographic cells. The system consists of a VISCOM XT9100 microfocus source (Mo, Ag or Cu), and a Vosskuhler CCD-camera, equipped with a SCINT-X pixeled scintillator, optimized for 17 keV radiation. The nominal performance characteristics of the setup are about 4-μm spatial resolution with frame rates up to 6 per second. The facility is unique, with only one similar setup in operation worldwide.
