Neutron induced radiography: a technique to inspect the internal structure of thin samples

The present paper describes a radiography technique to inspect low thickness samples, on the order of micra. The penetrating radiation are charged particles generated by a lithium fluoride screen irradiated by thermal neutrons. The film used to register the images is a solid state nuclear track detector and the experimental conditions to obtain the best radiography are provided. A digital system for data acquisition and image processing was also used.
