Abstract :
We present description and results of operation for gamma- and X-ray objects compact visualization system-HERV. The imaging in this system is based on using of conical collimator, scintillator plate and image intensifier as detector and CCD matrix as readout device. The using of HERV as 2D X-ray image visualizer for Compton Scatter inspection system was considered and first results are discussed. The possibility of using different hexagonal coded apertures imaging for HERV is discussed and results of Monte-Carlo simulation and experiments with optical analog of coded aperture are presented
