X-ray examining device

Abstract From the Canadian patent

An X-ray examining device, comprising an X-ray image intensifier and a television pick-up tube and monitor involves film recording where film material can be arranged directly against the exit window of an X-ray image intensifier tube. As a result the customary pivotable light distributor need not be included in the basic optical system between the X-ray image intensifier tube and the television pick-up tube, to that the basic optical system can be optimized to form a compact system offering optimum image transfer. Because the film recordings are made directly behind the exit window a, substantially lower radiation dose and less film material are required.
