X-RAY OPTICAL ENDOSCOPE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G01N23/04 G01N21/01 A61B1/00 

FIELD: measurement technique.

SUBSTANCE: using: for nondestructive control of products and materials. X-ray optical endoscope contains body with X-ray and optical channels located in it. Herewith X-ray optical endoscope has the second colour CCD-matrix of B*B size additionally introduced in it which matrix is installed on the axis of optical channel lens in the plane of its image. Focal length of this lens f₀ is selected with regard to relation f₀=L*B/D, where L is minimum distance from inlet butt end of focon to the lens, D is diametre of this butt end, and radiation angle of optical channel illuminator is selected from condition W=arctg(B/2f₀). Herewith video data from both CCD-matrices enters computer with colour display with possibility of simultaneous or sequential viewing X-ray or optical images of object in various modes of their digital processing and superimposing on display screen.

EFFECT: providing possibility to reconcile significantly different characteristics of X-ray and optical channels using single CCD-matrix.
