Abstract :
This article describes the general characteristics and detection sensitivity of a large-area low-velocity-scanned photoconductive X-ray pickup tube. An industrial inspection system using these tubes has undergone field test. Sensitivity measurements, as well as possible future applications of systems, are discussed.
