Typical plate type X-ray image enhancement device is a vacuum device that adopts X ray photocathode, microchannel plate and viewing screen.Electronics all is proximity focus between X ray photocathode and the microchannel plate and between microchannel plate and the viewing screen.
In the aforementioned patented claim of submitting on the same day, the present application people She Yongzheng etc. studies show that further that to the existing plate type X-ray image enhancement device of this class the flicker noise that viewing screen occurred is from the exponential pulse amplitude distribution of electron gain in the microchannel plate.This is to obtain to double by repeatedly colliding with vias inner walls under electric field quickens because of electronics in single passage.If absorbing X-ray only produces a photoelectron and enters single passage, because the statistical property of multiplicative process, the electron gain that the single photoelectron of each incident produces is not a constant, changes but be exponential form, thereby on viewing screen, be revealed as the variation of brightness, i.e. flicker noise.Then the exponential distribution form will change and tend towards stability but a plurality of not to be one as if the photoelectron number that is incident in same passage simultaneously, thereby flicker noise is reduced.When representative absorbs the photoelectron number (comprising just photoelectron and electronic secondary) that enters same passage when an X-ray subevent produces greater than 20 the time, the flicker noise of microchannel plate will be restrained.Therefore,, need provide a kind of mechanism that doubles to make the photoelectron number that produces behind X-ray of the every absorption of X ray photocathode, that is to say, need to improve the electronic switch efficient of X ray greater than (or equaling) 20 for eliminating flicker noise.
According to this thought, existing plate type X-ray image enhancement device has been proposed improvement, mainly be at aluminium foil supporting layer (abbreviation aluminium lamination) the heavy metal layer of having gone up deposit, as X ray absorber and first photoelectron emissions body.Deposit one transmission secondary emission body again on the heavy metal layer.The first photoelectron of high energy that the heavy metal layer absorbs X-ray generation is doubled by the transmission secondary emitter, the electron number that enters the same passage of microchannel plate will simultaneously be increased, thereby reduce owing to electron gain in the passage is the flicker noise that the exponential pulse height profile causes, the X ray photo cathode sensitivity increases simultaneously, and is particularly evident at the high-energy X-ray subrange.
In order further to increase the electron number that enters in the microchannel, input end face at microchannel plate increases the light metal membrane electrode, thin metal grid mesh and transmission secondary electron emissions layer, its method for making is to cover one deck thin metal film, aperture plate one outgrowth transmission secondary electron emissions layer on the light metal film on the fine wire aperture plate.This transmission secondary electron emissions layer is heavy metal layer and the photoelectron of transmission secondary emitter generation and the transmission secondary electron emissions dynode of electronic secondary, the absorber of incident X-rays be can also be further used as, and high energy just photoelectron and electronic secondary produced therein.The intermembranous distance of transmission secondary emitter and light metal makes it proximity focus less than 0.4 millimeter.Thereby the electron number that enters same passage is further increased, and help further reducing the flicker noise of microchannel plate, further improve the X ray photo cathode sensitivity simultaneously.Be prepared in the secondary electron emissions layer that the density of microchannel plate input end vias inner walls reduces gradually and will further improve the sensitivity of X ray image intensifier from the inwall to the outside surface.
