    Abstract: Inventions related to the intra-vision means, designed for production of visually sensed images of the internal structure of an object, in particular, of a biological object, are aimed at higher accuracy of determining the relative density indices of the object's substance in the obtained image together with avoiding complex and expensive engineering; when used for diagnostic purposes in medicine, the dosage of tissues surrounding those that are examined is decreased. X-rays from source 1 is concentrated (for example, using X-ray lens 2) in the zone that includes the current point 4, to which the measurement results are attributed and which is located within the target area 7 of the object 5. Excited in this zone secondary scattered radiation (Compton, fluorescent) is transported (for example, using X-ray lens 3) to one or more detectors 6. By moving the said zone, the target area 7 of object 5 is scanned, and based upon population of the intensity values of the secondary radiation, which are obtained with the help of one or more detectors 6 and which are determined concurrently with coordinates of the current point 6, judgment on the density of the object's substance in this point is made. Density values together with respective coordinate values obtained using sensors 11 are used in the means 12 for data processing and imaging to build up a picture of substance density distribution in the target area of the object.

    Abstract: An x-ray or neutron optic configuration includes a plurality of single crystal portions formed with respective spaced x-ray or neutron reflection faces formed at predetermined asymmetry angles to a Bragg diffraction plane in the respective crystal portion. The crystal portions are interconnected to maintain a first and second of these faces spaced apart for receipt of a sample between them and to allow small adjustments of the relative angle of the faces about the normal to the plane of diffraction while maintaining the normals to the Bragg planes for the first and second faces substantially in the plane of diffraction. A first face is arranged to be a monochromator and collimator with respect to x-rays or neutrons of appropriate wavelength incident reflected through the sample for receipt by the second face, which thereby serves as analyzer face.

    Abstract: The present invention provides for bending the beams, their focusing, transforming a divergent radiation into a quasi-parallel one, and vice versa, its filtering and monochromatization. Also attained are reduced radiation transfer losses, extended range of energies used, and higher radiation concentration. A possibility is provided for the use of larger radiation sources without decreasing the proportion of the captured particles, as well as for controlling the radiation spectrum. With this purpose in view, provision is made in the proposed method, apart from multiple reflection of particles upon interaction with different-density alternating media, for diffuse and potential scattering or interference of particles that diffract on multilayer structures applied to reflecting surfaces. In a device carrying the proposed method into effect, the aforementioned surfaces are coated with layers differing in electromagnetic properties. The optical system of the device appears principally as a set of miniature lenses or bemilenses 28, built up of a plurality of capillaries or polycapillaries, the walls of whose channels 24 are provided with an appropriate coating 22. No use of any support structures for forming the profiles of the optical system is required.

    Abstract: An optical system for x-rays combines at least two spherical or near spherical mirrors for each dimension in grazing incidence orientation to provide the functions of a lens in the x-ray region. To focus x-ray radiation in both the X and the Y dimensions, one of the mirrors focusses the X dimension, a second mirror focusses the Y direction, a third mirror corrects the X dimension by removing comatic aberration and a fourth mirror corrects the Y dimension. Spherical aberration may also be removed for an even better focus. The order of the mirrors is unimportant.

    Abstract: A monochromator for use with synchrotron x-ray radiation comprises two diffraction means which can be rotated independently and independent means for translationally moving one diffraction means with respect to the other. The independence of the rotational and translational motions allows Bragg angles from 3.5.degree. to 86.5.degree., and facilitates precise and high-resolution monochromatization over a wide energy range. The diffraction means are removably mounted so as to be readily interchangeable, which allows the monochromator to be used for both non-dispersive and low dispersive work.
