Abstract
We have developed and tested a variety of X-ray mini-probes for the Re verse Geometry X-radiography((R),1) (RGX) system each having their own advantages and disadvantages. These mini-probes consist of small scin tillators (as small as 2 mm in diameter and 5 mm long) attached to opt ical light guides (as long as 14 m) coupled to photomultipliers. Image s produced with these probes show that even smaller probes and/or long er light guides may be fashioned. Such probes may be useful in both no n-destructive evaluation and medical imaging.
