- Silicon strip detectors for two-dimensional soft X-ray imaging at normal incidencePublication . Mendes, PR; Abreu, MC; Baldazzi, G; Bollini, D; Rodriguez, AEC; Dabrowski, W; Garcia, AD; Gambaccini, M; Giubellino, P; Gombia, M; Grybos, P; Idzik, M; Marzari-Chiesa, A; Montano, LM; Prino, F; Ramello, L; Rodrigues, Susana; Sitta, M; Sousa, P; Swientek, K; Taibi, A; Tuffanelli, A; Wheadon, R; Wiacek, PA simple prototype system for static two-dimensional soft X-ray imaging using silicon microstrip detectors irradiated at normal incidence is presented. Radiation sensors consist of single-sided silicon detectors made from 300 mum thick wafers, read by RX64 ASICs. Data acquisition and control is performed by a Windows PC workstation running dedicated LabVIEW routines, connected to the sensors through a PCI-DIO-96 interface. Two-dimensional images are obtained by scanning a lead collimator with a thin slit perpendicular to the strip axis, along the whole detector size; the several strip profiles (slices) taken at each position are then put together to form a planar image. Preliminary results are presented, illustrating the high-resolution imaging capabilities of the system with soft X-rays. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
