High-resolution imaging of biological and other objects with an X-ray digital camera.
A high-resolution CCD X-ray camera based on YAG:Ce or LuAG:Ce thin scintillators is presented. The high resolution in low energy X-ray radiation is quantified with several test objects. The achieved spatial resolution of the images is <1 microm. The objects used for imaging are grids and small animals with parts of several microns in extent. The high-resolution imaging system can be used with different types of ionizing radiation (X-ray, electron, UV, and VUV) and for non-destructive micro-radiography and synchrotron beam inspection.
