Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to give a comprehensive state of the art review of all electro-optical systems used to date for direct viewing of X-ray topographic images. Consideration is given to both direct conversion X-ray sensitive vidicon systems and to indirect conversion systems which use fluorescent screens to convert the X-ray image into a visible one. Included in this review is a discussion of the relative advantages and disadvantages of the various electro-optical systems, including cost, versatility, portability, simplicity of operation, sensitivity, and resolution capability.
