Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is a space telescope under development by NASA for launch in 2032. [1] It is a NASA Probe mission concept designed for high angular resolution X-Ray imaging. [2] The mission goals are to examine galaxies over cosmic time, feedback in galaxies, Black Hole strong gravity, Dual AGN, the high redshift universe.
X-ray optics is the branch of optics dealing with X-rays, rather than visible light.It deals with focusing and other ways of manipulating the X-ray beams for research techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray crystallography, X-ray fluorescence, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray microscopy, X-ray phase-contrast imaging, and X-ray astronomy.
Recent developments in the design and quality of crystal optics have allowed for some EXAFS measurements to take place in a lab setting, [3] where the tunable x-ray source is achieved via a Rowland circle geometry. While experiments requiring high x-ray flux or specialized sample environments can still only be performed at synchrotron ...
The Athena X-ray observatory consists of a single X-ray telescope [8] [9] with a 12 m focal length, with an effective area of approx. 1.4 m 2 (at 1 keV) and a spatial resolution of 5 arcseconds on-axis, degrading gracefully to less than 10 arcseconds at 30 arcminutes off-axis. The mirror is based on ESA's Silicon Pore Optics (SPO) technology.
[1] Backscatter X-ray is an advanced X-ray imaging technology. Traditional X-ray machines detect hard and soft materials by the variation in x-ray intensity transmitted through the target. In contrast, backscatter X-ray detects the radiation that reflects from the target. It has potential applications where less-destructive examination is ...
MediaFire is a file hosting, file synchronization, and cloud storage service based in Shenandoah, Texas, United States. Founded in June 2006 by Derek Labian and Tom Langridge, the company provides client software for Microsoft Windows , macOS , Linux , Android , iOS , BlackBerry 10 , and web browsers . [ 1 ]
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a widely used technique for determining the local geometric and/or electronic structure of matter. [1] The experiment is usually performed at synchrotron radiation facilities, which provide intense and tunable X-ray beams. Samples can be in the gas phase, solutions, or solids. [2]
An X-ray image intensifier (XRII) is an image intensifier that converts X-rays into visible light at higher intensity than the more traditional fluorescent screens can. Such intensifiers are used in X-ray imaging systems (such as fluoroscopes ) to allow low-intensity X-rays to be converted to a conveniently bright visible light output.
