Abstract: An image acquisition system includes a radiation source configured to output radiation toward an object, a rotating stage configured to rotate the object around a rotation axis, a radiation camera having an input surface to which the radiation transmitted through the object is input and an image sensor capable of TDI control, and an image processing apparatus configured to generate a radiographic image of the object at an imaging plane P based on the image data. The angle formed between the rotation axis of the rotating stage and the input surface of the radiation camera is set in accordance with the FOD which is the distance between the radiation source and an imaging plane in the object. The radiation camera is configured to perform TDI control in the image sensor in synchronization with the rotational speed of the object rotated by the rotating stage.

Abstract: A charged particle beam device includes a detector 109 converting a photon emitted by a scintillator into an electric signal and a signal processing unit 110 processing the electric signal from the detector 109. The signal processing unit 110 detects a peak position of the electric signal, steepness of a rising section associated with the peak position, and steepness of a falling section associated with the peak position and classifies the peak position based on the steepness of the rising section and the steepness of the falling section.

Abstract: A detection system serves for X-ray inspection of an object. An imaging optical arrangement serves to image the object in an object plane illuminated by X-rays generated by an X-ray source. The imaging optical arrangement comprises an imaging optics to image a transfer field in a field plane into a detection field in a detection plane. A detection array is arranged at the detection field. An object mount holds the object to be imaged and is movable relative to the X-ray source via an object displacement drive along at least one lateral object displacement direction in the object plane. A shield stop with a transmissive shield stop aperture is arranged in an arrangement plane in a light path and is movable via a shield stop displacement drive in the arrangement plane. A control device has a drive control unit, which is in signal connection with the shield stop displacement drive and with the object displacement drive for synchronizing a movement of the shield stop displacement drive and the object displacement drive. The result is an optimization of an X-ray illumination of the object to achieve a high-resolution object imaging.

Abstract: A target inspection system includes a portable x-ray scanner configured to output a scanning beam of x-rays, a transmission detector module to detect x-rays of the scanning beam of x-rays that are transmitted through a target when the target is interposed between the portable x-ray scanner and the transmission detector module, and a coupling arm configured to couple the portable x-ray scanner to the transmission detector module mechanically to form a target inspection assembly, via a mechanical coupling between the coupling arm and the portable x-ray scanner at a proximal end of the coupling arm, and via a mechanical coupling between the coupling arm and the transmission detector module at a distal end of the coupling arm. The transmission detector module and the portable x-ray scanner are mechanically coupled together via the coupling arm, defining an opening to receive the target to be interposed therebetween for an x-ray scanning operation.

Abstract: A radiation logging tool is provided that includes a scintillator detector for use on a wellbore tool string to characterize earth formations. The scintillator detector has a shutter to allow for the collection of data differentiating between incident radiation, such as backscatter signal, and system noise, such as dark current, vibration noise, electronics thermal noise, and electrostatic noise. The radiation logging tool provides for a method of calibrating and measuring incident radiation by the removal of system noise. The shutter is positioned between the photosensor and scintillation member of the scintillator detector, and is able to switch between open and closed states while the scintillation detector is deployed. Measurements of signal noise can be used to calibrate the sampling signal of incident radiation on the scintillator detector.
