Soft X-Ray Image Intensifiers with High Time and Space Resolution

Abstract
We describe in this paper a device giving time and space resolved soft x-ray pictures of rapidly varying intense sources based on the use of a channel plate intensifier. Ten nanosecond soft x-ray framing of a dense plasma focus has been obtained using a 200 μ pinhole for image formation limiting space resolution to 3 line pairs/mm. The principle of this device has been conceived in order to preserve the 10 line pairs/mm intrinsic space resolution determined by the channel plate.
