ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for imaging objects with x rays using an x-ray tube, refractive x-ray lens and area detector. Cross sectional images of individual planes within an object are achieved through tomographic and laminographic exposure and image processing. The use of refractive x-ray lenses to achieve high resolution eliminates the need for vanishingly small microspot x-ray sources to achieve high resolution that current x-ray tomographic and laminographic systems suffer.
