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

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: X-ray optical endoscope has a housing in which there are optically interfaced X-ray and viewing optical channels for viewing object images, the X-ray channel has an X-ray sensitive CCD matrix of size B×B, the optical channel has a first semitransparent mirror mounted in front and on the longitudinal axis of the X-ray sensitive CCD matrix at an angle of 45°, a lens installed on the axis which passes through the centre of the first semitransparent mirror perpendicular to the axis of the X-ray sensitive CCD matrix, a monitor and/or a computer with an image display, wherein a second colour CCD matrix of size A×A is mounted in the focal plane of the lens with focal distance F outside the zone of propagation of the X-ray beam, near the lens there is a light-emitting diode with angle of radiation W>=arctg (A/2F) for illuminating the object. A matrix of N>8 microlasers is placed symmetrically around the X-ray sensitive CCD matrix.

EFFECT: possibility of matching considerably different characteristics of X-ray and optical channels.
