Determination of the size and geometry of the X-pinch X-ray source using microfabricated structures, and applications of this source to high-resolution imaging of a variety of objects

Summary form only given, as follows. The X-pinch is a very small radiation source in the 3-10 keV X-ray band. It has been used successfully to obtain micron scale resolution point-projection images of rapidly varying plasmas with subnanosecond temporal resolution, such as other X-pinches and explodi...

Summary:Summary form only given, as follows. The X-pinch is a very small radiation source in the 3-10 keV X-ray band. It has been used successfully to obtain micron scale resolution point-projection images of rapidly varying plasmas with subnanosecond temporal resolution, such as other X-pinches and exploding wire arrays, as well as to image /spl les/2 mm thick biological samples, such as small insects and beet seeds.
