The first brain image of an individual with psychosis was completed as far back as 1935 using a technique called pneumoencephalography ( a painful and now obsolete procedure where cerebrospinal fluid is drained from around the brain and replaced with air to allow the structure of the brain to show up more clearly on an X-ray picture ).

Each X-ray diffraction image represents only a slice, a spherical slice of reciprocal space, as may be seen by the Ewald sphere construction.

As a result, the term X-ray is metonymically used to refer to a radiographic image produced using this method, in addition to the method itself.

Jeffreys had a " eureka moment " in his lab in Leicester after looking at the X-ray film image of a DNA experiment at 9: 05 am on Monday 10 September 1984, which unexpectedly showed both similarities and differences between the DNA of different members of his technician's family.

Digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation.

The idea is based on simple principles of projective geometry: moving synchronously and in opposite directions the X-ray tube and the film, which are connected together by a rod whose pivot point is the focus ; the image created by the points on the focal plane appears sharper, while the images of the other points annihilate as noise.

By reconstructing the image, this instrument could get an X-ray picture of a nail surrounded by a circle of other nails, which made it impossible to X-ray from any single angle.

The first production X-ray CT machine ( in fact called the " EMI-Scanner ") was limited to making tomographic sections of the brain, but acquired the image data in about 4 minutes ( scanning two adjacent slices ), and the computation time ( using a Data General Nova minicomputer ) was about 7 minutes per picture.

Spectroscopic image resolution levels of 200 nm or below has been achieved on latest imaging XPS instruments using synchrotron radiation as X-ray source.

This image combines optical data from Hubble ( in red ) and X-ray images from Chandra X-ray Observatory ( in blue ).

The rebound of electrons into these holes in the inner shells next causes the emission of X-rays photons that were led out of the tube in a semi-beam, through an opening in the external X-ray shielding.

The highest-pressure phase of the external medium, and thus the most important phase from the point of view of the dynamics, is the X-ray emitting diffuse hot gas.

However, X-ray observations show that the internal lobe pressures of powerful FRII sources are often close to the external thermal pressures and not much higher than the external pressures, as would be required for supersonic expansion.

While X-ray and electron beams are by far the most widely used sources for external beam radiotherapy, a small number of centers operate experimental and pilot programs employing heavier particle beams, particularly proton sources.

Orthovoltage X-rays are produced by X-ray generators operating at voltages in the 200 – 500 kV range, and therefore an energy in the 200 – 500 keV range ( see external beam radiotherapy for an explanation of the maximum and mean energies as a function of voltage ).

This process is unlike a diagnostic X-ray where external radiation is passed through the body to form an image.

The original Vela satellites were equipped with 12 external X-ray detectors and 18 internal neutron and gamma-ray detectors.

Scintigraphy is unlike a diagnostic X-ray where external radiation is passed through the body to form an image.

X-ray beams impinging on a smooth surface at a few degrees glancing angle of incidence undergo external total reflection which is taken advantage of to enhance the instrumental efficiency substantially.

X-ray crystallography theoretically offered the opportunity to reveal the molecular structure of large molecules like proteins and DNA, but there were serious technical problems then preventing X-ray crystallography from being applicable to such large molecules.

In addition to these commercially well-established techniques, a large number of promising microlithographic and nanolithographic technologies exist or are being developed, including nanoimprint lithography, interference lithography, X-ray lithography, extreme ultraviolet lithography, magnetolithography and scanning probe lithography.

Tsipis, " Third-Generation Nuclear Weapons ," < cite > SIPRI Yearbook of World Armaments and Disarmament 1985 </ cite > ( University Press, 1985 ).</ ref > Such critics often cite the X-ray laser system as being the primary focus of SDI, with its apparent failure being a main reason to oppose the program.

In an X-ray diffraction measurement, a crystal is mounted on a goniometer and gradually rotated while being bombarded with X-rays, producing a diffraction pattern of regularly spaced spots known as reflections.

Although diamond s ( top left ) and graphite ( top right ) are identical in chemical composition — being both pure carbon — X-ray crystallography revealed the arrangement of their atoms ( bottom ) accounts for their different properties.

Observation of the SN 1006 remnant in the X-ray has shown synchrotron emission consistent with it being a source of cosmic rays.

Some solar system bodies emit X-rays, the most notable being the Moon, although most of the X-ray brightness of the Moon arises from reflected solar X-rays.

Spinning tube, commonly called spiral CT, or helical CT in which an entire X-ray tube is spun around the central axis of the area being scanned.

where E < sub > binding </ sub > is the binding energy ( BE ) of the electron, E < sub > photon </ sub > is the energy of the X-ray photons being used, E < sub > kinetic </ sub > is the kinetic energy of the electron as measured by the instrument and φ is the work function of the spectrometer ( not the material ).

They all share the same detection principle: An incoming X-ray photon ionises a large number of detector atoms with the amount of charge produced being proportional to the energy of the incoming photon.

The primary emission of the extremely hot outer atmosphere of the sun, the solar corona, is at X-ray wavelengths and the extended duration, high resolution X-ray imagery from Yohkoh are being analyzed in an effort to learn why the sun has a corona at all and why it varies in intensity so strongly in response to the 11-year sunspot cycle.

Excludables were held in Camp X-ray near Post 37 before being sent back to Cuba.

X-ray active optics, using actively deformable grazing incidence mirrors, are also being investigated.

It has been suggested that the object could be a " micro quasar ", having very high radio luminosity yet low X-ray luminosity, and being fairly stable.

* HEAO 1, 2, and 3, with HEAO 2 being the Einstein Observatory, the first fully imaging X-ray telescope put into space

At the focal spot, X-ray photons are emitted in all directions from the target surface, the highest intensity being around 60deg to 90deg from the beam due to the angle of the anode target to the approaching X-ray photons.

* All hold luggage is screened via X-ray for prohibited items before being put on the plane.

* All hand luggage is screened via X-ray for prohibited items before being allowed entry to airside security zone or on to aircraft.

It was also known as the X-ray Explorer Satellite, SAS-A ( for " Small Astronomy Satellite " A, being first of the three-spacecraft SAS series ), SAS 1, or Explorer 42.

The Uhuru Catalog, issued in four successive versions the last being the 4U catalog, was the first comprehensive X-ray catalog, contains 339 objects and covers the whole sky in the 2 — 6 keV band.
