In situ capabilities of X-ray microscopy for inspection and materials analysis

Original language description

review article in conference proceedings Kotrlý M., Uher J., Bohacova J., Jakubek J., Turková I., Cejka P.: In situ capabilities of X-ray microscopy for inspection and materials analysis. Proceedings MC 2025 Karlsruhe MIcroscopy conference, pp. 653-655, first edition 8/2025, ISBN- 978-3-948023-55-3, 2025. New robotic system enables the comprehensive characterisation and inspection of both 2D and 3D objects. The broad capabilities of X-ray imaging are complemented by X-ray fluorescence point analysis and mapping, multispectral imaging, and multispectral X-ray diffraction analysis. The standard con guration for X-ray imaging comprises two robotic stations. One robot carries an X-ray tube, and the other holds a photon-counting imaging, or any other detector. The system is capable of accurate geometrical calibrations that allow positioning of both robots precisely yet arbitrarily. Therefore, the robots can be moved to different locations during on-site inspections. Fig. 1 shows the system in a portable con guration. The spectral sensitivity of every pixel in an AdvaPIX TPX3 camera with a high-resolution Timepix3 chip enables a poly- chromatic X-ray beam to be used for EDXRD, resulting in a fast and compact system. This is possible because the X-ray tube teamed with a dual-stage collimator does not require monochromatizing and thus provides a high- intensity polychromatic X-ray beam. The high-resolution detector placed close to the sample and covering a large solid angle eliminates the need for mechanical angular scanning. The broad energy range (3 150 keV) allows analysis of even very absorbing samples (stainless steel, heavy metals and minerals).
