A system of fast one-dimensional X-ray cinema with direct registration and accumulation of images by a matrix CCD

A recording system on the basis of a matrix CCD and the first results of its testing are described. The system is intended for fast registration (from 10 up to 100 μs per image) of the limited (100 through 500) series of one-dimensional X-ray images. Here the CCD is used for direct registration of X-rays as well as for the accumulation and short-time storage of one-dimensional bulk images. After the registration is complete, the accumulated images are transformed into a digitized electric signal, which is read out by a computer. nsideration also deals with the system speed main restrictions, which are due to both the electric parameters of a matrix CCD and the charge-diffusion effects in the substratum. Besides, the methods for diminishing these restrictions are discussed.
