Abstract
The spatial resolution and the sensitivity of a blue colored Imaging P late (blue-IP) were compared with these of a conventional Imaging Plat e (white-IP) by using Cu K-alpha X-rays. The spatial resolution of the blue-IP was estimated to be 84 mu m (FWHM) and 220 mu m (FW@10%M), wh ile that of white-IP was estimated to be 178 and 395 mu m, respectivel y. No significant differences were observed between the blue and white -IPs in terms of the sensitivity and the dynamic range. These encourag ing results obtained in the present study can facilitate substituting traditional white-IPs with blue-IPs in various fields of X-ray experim ents. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
