This can provide internal 3D Scanning of metal objects. This is done using a CT (Computed Tomography) scanner - formerly known as CAT scanner.

System

Components

  • CERN Open source computation of 3D images from 2D scans - OpenCT
  • DIY x-ray source from Hackaday by Matt "Sigurthr" Giordano - [2]
  • Digital Radiography - Wikipedia - [3]
  • Coolidge Tube x-ray source, old tech - [4]
  • Phone app for Geiger counter - [5]
  • Dental x-ray source, new - $500 - [6]
  • Photostimulable phosphor - [7]
  • X rays can hit a photostimulable phosphor image plate to emit light, which can be detected by a regular camera CCD detector. [8]. Can this be used as a low cost way to generate x-ray images?
  • You can use a beryllium window to turn a regular camera into an x-ray camera - Instructables - [9]

Other

  • Spectrometry - x-ray fluorescence - [10]
