Abstract

A scintillation based imaging system utilizes a single crystal inorganic scintillator (55) to convert ionizing radiation to light in a spectral range or ranges within the visible or ultraviolet spectral ranges. The conversion takes place inside the single crystal material, preserving special resolution. The single crystal scintillator (55) is sandwiched between a first plate that is substantially transparent to the ionization radiation and a second plate that is transparent to the visible or ultraviolet light. The ionization radiation is directed from the submicron source through a target (2) to create a shadow image of the target inside the scintillator crystal (55). Several submicron sources of radiation are described. Large size sources (40) are converted to submicron sources by focusing the radiation to a submicron neck by blocking all but a submicron portion using a pinhole arrangement or by channeling the radiation with a pinhole runnel (9).
