Figure 1
Model of the four-frame detector system. X-rays enter the system at the bottom right of the image, where the front of the fiber optic plate is coated with LSO:Ce X-ray phosphor. This fiber plate is coupled to a fiber taper and then to an image intensifier. The image intensifier's phosphor screen anode emits light, which passes through three beam-splitters and is focused on four ICCD cameras. The kinematic mounting of the front-end (phosphor, taper, and intensifier) allows the system to be easily modified. |
