DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF BENCHTOP X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM

Combination of hardware units enabled us to obtain X-ray images of various samples with accepted image quality. Depending on the desired resolution, images may take up to several hours even for small sized objects. However, when time is not number one priority, this device can provide a good quality X-ray images at low cost. The time requirement for imaging with only one pixel detector is relatively long. Thus, a multidetector array, which compromises 24 BPW-34 detectors was designed and produced. Imaging with this detector array required using an FPGA to transfer the data from detectors to the computer simultaneously. For test purposes, an FPGA code for four detectors was written and it was tested during real data taking.
