ABSTRACT:
An industrial x-ray inspection system has detecting means comprising a linear array of scintillator crystals operable to emit light in response to incident radiation, a bundle of optical fibers arranged so that an input end thereof is positioned at the detecting means for receiving light therefrom and an output end thereof is positioned at an image intensifier or camera wherein the optical fibers are regrouped so that the aspect ratios of the input and output ends of the bundle of optical fibers match those of the detecting means and the image intensifier or camera respectively. One optical fiber is associated with each scintillator crystal.
