Abstract
A high-performance HARPICON tube has been equipped to an electronic im aging camera of Musashi Image Processing System for neutron radiograph y (NRG). A vertical limiting resolution of 1600 TV lines was obtained with an imaging size of 2048 x 2048 pixels using the EIAJ rest chart-A . The camera was applied to neutron radiography at the NRG facility of JRR-3M at Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute and excellent neutro n radiographs have been obtained. Durability of the HARPICON camera ag ainst neutron and gamma rays was proved.
