ABSTRACT:
A method of generating a neutron-radiographic image of a sample by passing a generated neutron beam through a multiple-channel, multiple-total-external reflection neutron bender/filter manipulator which includes at least one multiple-channel element, directing an output beam from the neutron bender/filter manipulator onto the sample; passing a neutron beam exiting the sample though a multiple-channel, multiple-total-external reflection neutron scatter-rejection manipulator which includes at least one multiple-channel element, the multiple-channel element being comprised of a material containing a nuclear isotope which is highly absorptive to neutrons with energies less than approximately 10,000 eV; and detecting a beam which exits the scatter-rejection manipulator.
