Grid - Screen Alignment (X-Rays)

Tubesteve: "The amount of humans is increasing, but the amount of available intelligence remains a constant."

I always thought it was not the universe expanding, but us shrinking.
Prolly cause time, space, mass, energy all the same thing on some
low level. More mass = less space, everywhere a constant balance.
Where mass accumulates, space shrinks. So space inbetween looks
like its expanding... Dark energy = StOOpid explaination for obvious.

A black hole is probably not a singularity, but an empty shell of mass
at the even horizon. Why should it fall any further in? It wouldn't lose
any energy in doing so. Gravity at the real center is probably less
than in the shell, and the interior is filled with energy like a Cadbury.
Or maybe energy can't escape the shell on the inside either???

Also some markings on glass that accidently rubbed off.
I'll take notes from a fresh sample when I get home.

Plenty of getter here, not sure why it doesn't show?
Everything above the getter ring is like a mirror.

Wonderful images, as always. Can you imagine what QC could have done back in the 40's and 50's if they had a machine like yours?

I think there is a scintillator screen, and some sorta fiber optic cone to shrink the
image to a normal sized CCD. Not 100% sure that how mine works, just reading on
the subject in general... Cause I had to photograph the ball grid under a CCD the
other day, and wanted to know if the XRays would damage the light sensor? Yes,
eventually it would damage, but it takes like 3000 or more exposures. I'm not sure
how long that works in real time, ours gives a live image average over 16 frames.
But ours is maybe 30 or 60 frames per second??? Never read actual spec.

Anyways, theres usually some sorta scheme to keep the sensor out of the direct
blast. We are using hard X-Rays like 90KV here... Goes right through gold.

Used to maintain linear accelerators in a former life.. Used to take images at between 6MeV and 21MeV!!! Took a picture of my mobile phone like that once without giving it a thought .... didn't work after that

CCD Cameras monitoring the bunkers used to last 6 months , gradually losing pixels until the image was classed as "unsatisfactory".

The Imaging detector was some sort of huge A4 sized CCD with a scintillator above it. Reliability was good. Image quality was nowhere near as good as a proper x-ray machine, but then again most of the photons are so energetic, they shoot right through the CCD.

I don't know which manufacturer. Equivalent to 6SN7 I suppose?

Nice setup, Peter!
I like blue color. And monitor...

Hi Kenpeter

the manufacturer is Beijing, an old brand of tube. Many NOS of Beijing tubes out there.

I like the little board on your desk...Where did you get it?
