Definitions

  • xeroradiography X-ray recording by Xerography
  • the plate or element exposed to X-ray or gamma ray or other sensitizing radiation usually comprises a conductive metallic backing sheet having a photoconductive insulating layer or coating, for example of vitreous or amphorous selenium on one surface thereof. It is conventional to cover or protect the coating from ambient light by a slide plate placed from the surface of the coating and usually called a dark slide.
  • the plate or element is sensitized by applying an electrostatic charge to the coating and thereafter the sensitized plate or element is exposed to sensitizing radiation with the object to be radiographed appropriately interposed between the radiation source and the plate.
  • the coating becomes electrically conductive permitting the electrostatic charge thereon to be selectively dissipated in those portions reached by the sensitizing radiation, less dissipation occurring in those portions of the coating shaded by the object being radiographed in proportion to its absorbed radiation.
  • an electrostatic latent image of the radiographed object is formed on the coating.
  • This image may then be developed or made visible with an electroscopic marking material which clings to the electrically charged portions of the latent image.
  • Such a process is disclosed, for example, in Schaifert et al. US. Pat. No. 2,666,144.
  • the X-rays or other imaging radiation are utilized to differentially ionize air or other gas existing between a cathode supporting the object to be radiographed and the layer upon which the electrostatic latent image is to be formed.
  • the above and still further objects of the present invention are achieved by counter-balancing the deposition of a first polarity, image-forming avalanching charge with the simultaneous formation of an opposite polarity charge sufiiciently adjacent said first charge so that the field established thereby is substantially neutralized.
  • the net opposite polarity charge can be formed by the dissipation or ejection of an electron from a nearby or adjacent layer.
  • an electron is dis sipated by photoconductivity from the interface existing between the insulator and an adjacent photoconductive insulator.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional side view of the ionographic imaging apparatus illustrating the process of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of an alternative ionographic imaging apparatus
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional side view of still a further ionographic imaging apparatus.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional side view of an imaging apparatus wherein the object to be radiographed is supported by a low work function material coated anode.
  • an ionographic imaging apparatus generally designated having an object, for example a step wedge 12, situated between X-ray source 14 and the remainder of the imaging apparatus 10.
  • a cathode 16 having a coating 18 of photo-emissive material thereon.
  • Exemplary photo emissive materials are lead and lead oxide.
  • Coating 18 should be capable of ejecting electrons in response'to radiation absorbed in the layer.
  • anode 20 Parallel to cathode 16 and in spaced relationship thereto is anode 20 which is connected by lead 22 to one terminal of potential source 24, the other terminal of source 24 being connected by lead 26 to cathode 16.
  • a layer of photoconductive ins'ulating material 28 Disposed on the side of the anode 20 facing cathode 16 is a layer of photoconductive ins'ulating material 28 having an overlying insulating layer 30.
  • Layer 28 of photoconductive insulating material must be responsive to (i.e. made conductive by) X-rays or other impinging radiation used in this imaging technique. Further, layer 28 must have suflicient mobility for negative charge residing at interface I so it will be transported to anode 20 without formation of a trapped bulk charge.
  • An exemplary material is a thin selenium layer.
  • layer 30 is given a uniform positive charge over its entire surface, for example, by subjecting it to corona discharge as is known in the art. Simultaneously with the formation of the uniform positive charge, there will be an induced negative charge at the interface I between the insulating layer 30 and the photoconductive insulating layer 28.
  • a quenching gas is admitted to the space between the electrodes so that amplification can be achieved during exposure.
  • the apparatus can be enclosed in an air-tight container, or an equivalent design, whereby the quenching gas, if kept under a slight gas flow, can displace all air from the intervening space.
  • Object 12 is now exposed, for a short interval, to radiation emanating from source 14.
  • the radiation will be absorbed to a greater extent by the thicker areas of object 12 thereby permitting less radiation to be absorbed in the corresponding underlying areas of photoemissive layer 18.
  • Radiation which is absorbed in layer '18, however, will cause said layer to eject electrons therefrom. These primary electrons will ionize the gas molecules and produce secondary electrons. At proper voltages avalanching takes place and secondary electron flow is greatly increased. These electrons, as well as negative ions, will be drawn across the gap between the electrons to insulating layer 30. If the gap between layers is small, resolution is only rninutely alfected and the negative charges will be deposited in imagewise configuration.
  • ionographic imaging apparatus generally designated 50 has a cathode 52 having a photoemissive coating 54 disposed thereon.
  • object 12 is positioned between source 14 and cathode 52 and is, in fact, supported by the exposed surface of cathode 52.
  • anode 56 Spaced from the cathode and in parallel relationship thereto is anode 56 sandwiched between insulator layer 58 and photo-emissive layer 60, insulator layer 58 being on the cathode side of anode 56.
  • Anode 56 is connected by lead 62 to one terminal of potential source 64, the other terminal being connected by lead 66 to cathode 52.
  • collector electrode 68 On the opposite side of anode 56 from cathode 52 and in parallel spaced relationship thereto is a collector electrode 68.
  • Collector electrode 68 is connected by lead 70 to the positive terminal of potential source 74, the negative terminal being connected to the positive terminal of potential source 64.
  • quenching gas is emitted to the space between the cathode and the anode.
  • quenching gas is admitted to the space between the anode and the collector electrode though it is not absolutely necessary. Since the apparatus of FIG. 2 does not include a photoconductive insulator, it can be operated in ordinary room light provided the photo-emissive layers 54 and 60 are not sensitive thereto.
  • the apparatus of FIG. 2 does not depend on the neutralization of charge residing on the insulator surface and the simultaneous dissipation, by photoconductivity, of induced charge residing at the insulatorphotoconductive insulator interface. Rather, the apparatus of FIG. 2 neutralizes the retarding fields caused by successive deposition of image-forming avalanching charges by the simultaneous ejection of an electron from the insulator material.
  • the net positive charge on the photo-emissive material substantially neutralizes the fields created by the negative, image-forming charges on the insulator material. In this manner, successive negative charges are not retarded whereby the apparatus achieves a greater dynamic range.
  • the intensity of the radiation absorbed in the photo-emissive layer and the intensity of negative charges striking the insulating film is greatest where the photo-emissive material on the cathode is not beneath the object to be radiographed.
  • the imaging apparatus of FIG. 1 produces a negatively charged image on the exposed surface of insulator layer 30
  • the apparatus of FIG. 2 produces a positively charged image on the exposed surface of photoemissive material 60 as well as the negatively charged image on the exposed surface of insulator layer 58.
  • Image development can proceed in accordance with well known electrostatic and xerographic development techniques. Thereafter, the images can be transferred from the insulator or photo-emissive surfaces to a copy sheet. Alternatively, the insulator layer having the developed image thereon can be stripped from the anode and the image fixed directly thereto.

This latter material should have substantially higher electron mobility than hole mobility and retention time for the hole should be such as not to adversely affect subsequent image visualization.
  • An exemplary material is barium zi
  • electrons will be ejected from layer 84 and deposited on insulating material layer 94 in image configuration in proportion to the amount of radiation absorbed by object 12; that is, more electrons will be deposited in those layers corresponding to thinner portions of object 12.
  • Those X-rays passing through to low work function material layer 96 will cause electrons to be ejected therefrom which will be collected by anode 86. This will leave behind positive holes, the effect of each will be to neutralize the retarding field created by a depositing negative charge.
