A 400 kV radioscopic system with microchannel plate image intensifier
Abstract
For the purpose of studying the dynamics of a propellant system, a television-monitored radioscopic system using 400 kV X-rays was investigated. This system is based on the association of metallic converter and a microchannel plate. Converters were studied both experimentally and theoretically, and it was found that gold and tantalum with a thickness of 15 to 25 microns possessed the best characteristic. The organization of the components of the radioscopic system, the resolution, and the radiologic sensitivity are described.
