X Ray Instrument Sees Electrons Jump In Ultrafast Tests
An experimental device from Linfield College McMinnville Oregon can draw high speed electrons from tiny tungsten tips to generate powerful ultra fast X rays. It produces millionth of a second exposures and can capture internal motion such as a bullet exiting a gun muzzle or a man being shot from a cannon. The system uses light weight hardware and modest power and yields high beam intensity and controllability for rapid imaging.
