Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the accuracy of a measurement of the size of a defect, etc., by moving a holding base at right angles to the straight line connecting a X-ray source and the center part of an X-ray image pickup camera. CONSTITUTION:The holding base 8 for a sample 1 is arranged between the fine-focus X-ray source 10 and X-ray image pickup camera 9 and a column 2 is moved in a constant direction (x) perpendicular to the straight line connecting the X-ray source 10 and the center part of the image pickup surface of the camera 9. Namely, the column 2 is moved while an image picked up by the camera 9 is observed on a screen 12 shown in a figure (a) to align one end part of a size-measured part (s) with the straight line (r) of the screen 12, and the current position of the holding base 8 is read on a scale 3 with an index 4. Then the column 2 is moved again to align the other end part of the measured part (s) with the straight line (r), and the current position of the holding base 8 is read on the scale 3 with the index 4. Then the movement distance is calculated from the read values on the scale 3 to accurately measure the position of an internal defect (P) of the sample 11 and its width, specially, without reference to the depth-directional position.

For example, air bubbles inside a metal piece or synthetic resin, etc.
In order to measure cracks or internal dimensions of small devices that cannot be disassembled, it is necessary to observe enlarged fluoroscopic images using X-rays. In this case, by observing an enlarged perspective image of the sample using an X-ray source with a fine focus, it is possible to enlarge the part to be measured and measure its dimensions. However, if the position of the defective part to be measured within the sample is not known, the distance from the X-ray source to the defect cannot be determined, so the magnification of the image is unknown and its size cannot be determined. Unable to measure accurately.

Therefore, the present invention does not involve such drawbacks, and even when the position of the part to be measured inside an object is not known, it is possible to enlarge and observe the part to be measured and to accurately measure its dimensions. The purpose is to provide a device that can do this.

In the apparatus of the present invention, a sample holding stage disposed between a microfocus X-ray source and an X-ray imaging camera is placed at right angles to a straight line passing through the X-ray source and the center of the imaging surface of the camera. It is provided with a mechanism for moving in a fixed direction and a measuring section for measuring the distance of movement. That is, while observing the image captured by the camera on the screen of a television receiver or the like, move the holding stand so that one end of the part whose dimensions are to be measured coincides with the position of the straight line on the screen; Read and memorize the holding table position, move the holding table again so that the other end coincides with the above straight line, and calculate the moving distance between the holding table position in this case and the above position. It is possible to measure the dimensions of defects, etc. inside the device. In addition, since the measurement is performed by observing the magnified image, the moving position of the holding table can be precisely controlled. Furthermore, since the positions are read while all of the measurement points are placed on a straight line connecting the X-ray source and the center point of the imaging surface of the camera, the measurement points are not affected by image distortion due to oblique projection. There are effects such as being able to perform accurate measurements regardless of the magnification of the image.

Using such an X-ray device, it is possible to detect a flaw such as a cavity p generated inside an arbitrary sample and to measure its dimensions. That is, when the sample II is placed on the holding table 8 and irradiated with X-rays from the X-ray source 10, and the support column 2 is moved to an appropriate position as indicated by the arrow X, the X-rays that have passed through the sample are incident on the camera 9. Therefore, by applying the output video signal to a receiver, an image of the flaw P can be obtained. Figures 2a and 2b show the screen 1 in the above receiver.

When the right end of the image S of giJp is aligned with the straight line r by moving it as shown by the arrow X in the figure, the value on the scale 3 indicated by the index 4 at this time is assumed to be m. Also, pillar 2
is moved again in the direction of arrow It is clearly given by (m - n ) and the magnification of the image S is given by the value of the scale 6 indicated by the index 7.

That is, the width of the flaw P in the plane of the paper can be determined by the difference in the values on the scale 3 when the support 2 is moved from the state shown in FIG. 2 a to the state shown in FIG. In addition, in the apparatus of the present invention, the position of the flaw p in the sample, especially the depth, can be determined by simply determining the position of the X-rays that are perpendicularly incident on the imaging surface of the camera 9 from the radiation source 10, that is, the position of the straight line r. Its width can be accurately measured regardless of its directional position. Moreover, since both ends of the flaw p are successively aligned with the straight line r using the enlarged image S of the flaw p, extremely precise control and measurement can be performed, and the flaw p
