Neutron Imaging

The MUTR neutron imaging system utilizes a thermalized neutron beam from the thermal column with an L/D ratio of about 15. Neutron flux at full power is approximately 1.0 x 104 n/cm2/sec. After passing through the sample, the neutrons strike a Li-6 doped ZnS screen and are converted to light. Andor Solis iXon+ cooled CCD camera with a 1002×1004 pixel sensor is used to record the images. The beam spot is approximately 4 cm in diameter and the neutron imaging system has a resolution of approximately 600 μm. A tomographic capability is also available. Example images are shown below:
