X-Ray Diffraction Microscopy by an Electronic Streak Camera System

Abstract
A new electronic streak camera system with an X-ray vidicon was developed here to take topographs or tomographs, using an order of ten minutes for the data acquisition per image (512×480 pixels) with commercially available instruments such as a 2 kW Mo sealex tube, a Lang camera, an X-ray vidicon and a personal computer. Here, the time needed for image processing was a few tens of seconds. Of course, sufficient multiple integration of image data is necessary for improvement of the image quality while the data acquisition time becomes longer as the multiplication is increased. A few ten-minute operation, including the duration of time for image processing, however, is sufficient for good quality images.
