APPARATUS FOR PROTECTING X-RAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FROM DAMAGE IN EXPERIMENTS WITH LINER MAGNETIC IMPLOSION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G03B42/02 G01N23/04 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus for protecting x-ray diagnostic system from damage in experiments with liner magnetic implosion, having an x-ray source placed in a protective box and, lying along its radiation axis, a ponderomotive module, having coaxially arranged central measuring unit, liner and return current lead, as well as cassette with an x-ray film placed in a protective container. Between the protective box with the x-ray source and the return current lead, as well as between the return current lead and the protective container with the film in the angular sector of the x-ray beam from the source to the ponderomotive module, which coincides with the wedge-like "shadow" cast by the central measuring unit, there is an element with a cutting edge lying parallel to the axis of the ponderomotive module in the direction towards the surface of the return current lead.

EFFECT: ensuring integrity of both the x-ray tube and the cassette with the x-ray film in an experiment with liner magnetic implosion with simultaneous elimination of the active element for protecting the film, which is an explosive valve.
