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 ...
Automated X-ray inspection is used in a wide range of industries and applications, predominantly with two major goals: Process optimization, i.e. the results of the inspection are used to optimize following processing steps, Anomaly detection, i.e. the result of the inspection serve as a criterion to reject a part (for scrap or re-work).
Compared with destructive techniques, e.g. three-dimensional electron backscatter diffraction (3D EBSD), [5] with which the sample is serially sectioned and imaged, 3DXRD and similar X-ray nondestructive techniques have the following advantages: They require less sample preparation, thus limiting the introduction of new structures in the sample.
And that software is quickly becoming both smarter and simpler. Although functions on today's programs reach the level of precise editing and even rendering 3-D images, user interfaces are designed to be friendly to advanced users as well as first-time fans. The Internet allows editing, viewing, and sharing digital photos and graphics.
X-ray lithography is a process used in semiconductor device fabrication industry to selectively remove parts of a thin film of photoresist. It uses X-rays to transfer a geometric pattern from a mask to a light-sensitive chemical photoresist, or simply "resist," on the substrate to reach extremely small topological size of a feature.
XM-1 uses an X-ray lens to focus X-rays on a CCD, in a manner similar to an optical microscope. XM-1 held the world record in spatial resolution with Fresnel zone plates down to 15 nm and is able to combine high spatial resolution with a sub-100ps time resolution to study e.g. ultrafast spin dynamics.
