Notes:
The fine metal wire x-pinch is a compact source of soft-x-ray emission. Under certain conditions, x rays in the 3–7 keV range are emitted in 〈1 ns bursts from source regions that are 〈10 μm in size. The small size and high intensity of these 3–7 keV sources makes the x-pinch useful as a point source for x-ray backlighting. This capability has been demonstrated by using an x-pinch to produce radiographic images of separate x-pinches and z-pinches. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
