An Xray image detection system consisting of a fluorescent screen optically coupled to a CCD camera can produce a large uniform image. In this system, it is difficult to produce a noise4ess image because of loss in the optical system. In order to improve the efficiency of light collection, we have developed a new screen with an interference filter. The angular distribution of the light from the new screen was improved, and the amount of light collected by the CCD was increased. The spatial resolution of the new screen was a little lower than that of the conventional screen. In this paper, we report a new application of an interference filter to a fluorescent screen, and report the performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
