Detector

Detector

The indirect-detection imaging system: a scintillator converts the transmitted X-ray image to visible light, visible-light microscope optics relay it, and a camera records 2-D projections that are reconstructed off-line into 3-D micron-resolution tomograms.

Enclosure: 19-BM-D.

Note

Specific scintillator, microscope-optics, and camera selections are procured after the FDR and are carried as questions (DET-1). The microscope composes the cross-facility Microscope Assembly (scintillator + optics + camera presenting the Detector Role), the same blueprint 2-BM uses; it is not a Family of its own.

Beam stops

The photon and bremsstrahlung stops at the downstream end of 19-BM-D, plus the extra downstream-wall shielding required for a white-beam BM station.

Enclosure: 19-BM-D.

Note

all RSS / safety elements at the downstream wall; the guillotines provide the APS TB-44 extra lead area.
