DIFIR-1: A DEVICE FOR THE RECORDING OF PLASMA X-RAY IMAGES

摘要

The X-ray pinhole camera proves to be a simple and efficient diagnostic for the investigation of a soft X-ray source parameters such as source position, dimensions, shape or reproductibility. DIFIR-1 was designed based on an original idea for the film positioning. It allows a maximum use of the X-ray film, has 28 positions without changing the film, has a broad spectral domain, three possible magnifications, 300 μm spatial resolution and a maximum dimension of the visualized zone of 5 cm. The tests showed a good functioning in the required parameters. The images on the film that were obtained were processed by means of computer.
