介绍了一种基于YAG：Ce或LuAG：Ce薄膜晶体的高分辨率CCD X射线相机。低能量X射线辐射的高分辨率被证明与几个对象。图像的空间分辨率约为1μm。高分辨率成像系统是一个高灵敏度的数字CCD相机和光学系统与薄反射成像屏幕的组合。屏可以由YAG：Ce或LuAG：Ce无机闪烁体[J.A.母马，辐射。Meas. 38（2004）353]。这些材料具有机械和化学稳定性以及非吸湿性的优点。高分辨率成像系统可用于不同类型的辐射（X射线、电子、UV和VUV [M.尼克尔，米亚斯。Sci. 17（2006）R37]）。用于成像测试的物体是网格和具有几微米大小特征的小动物。使用不同类型的CCD相机和闪烁成像屏幕测试分辨率能力。
A high-resolution CCD X-ray camera based on YAG:Ce or LuAG:Ce thin scintillators is presented. High-resolution in low-energy X-ray radiation is proved with several objects. The spatial resolution achieved in the images is about 1μm. The high-resolution imaging system is a combination of a high-sensitivity digital CCD camera and an optical system with a thin scintillator-imaging screen. The screen can consist of YAG:Ce or LuAG:Ce inorganic scintillator [J.A. Mares, Radiat. Meas. 38 (2004) 353]. These materials have the advantages of mechanical and chemical stability and non-hygroscopicity. The high-resolution imaging system can be used with different types of radiation (X-ray, electrons, UV, and VUV [M. Nikl, Meas. Sci. Technol. 17 (2006) R37]). The objects used for the imaging tests are grids and small animals with features of several microns in size. The resolution capabilities were tested using different types of CCD cameras and scintillation imaging screens.
