The results regarding resolution as measured by CERL double wire IQI s show results for a class G2 film very close to those obtained by X-rays. Some results from the large range of published data are summarized in fig. 5 and 6. 

In this paper the technical specifications of a Real Time X-Ray system are given. The procedure for inspection is explained briefly. The resolution of film and of Real Time X-Ray inspection are compared. The basic equipment needed to inspect Real Time X-Ray data is defined. 

The resolution of images of the Real Time X-Ray system depend on the material thickness and on the settings of the system. While setting up the Real Time X-Ray inspection of parts the resolution is compared with the resolution aehieved in film bases X-Ray as used over the last years. It is demonstrated that the sensitivity of Real Time X-Ray meets the specification of DIN 54109 Bildgtitteklasse II. 

P ) The system BAS 2000 (bio-imaging analyser) from Fuji Film. The system included flexible IP s, in a 20 X 40 cm and 20 X 25 cm format (type BAS ni) and an IP without proteetive layer (BAS-TR2040). With the system s laser scanner (flat bed) one can read these IP s with a resolution of 100 pm or 200 pm and a digital dynamie of 8 or 10 bits. The system is not on the market anymore. 

Several tests have been performed with the biomedical systems of Fuji Film, the BAS 2500 and BAS 5000. The BAS25(K) is similar to the BAS2000 a flat bed scatmer which can read diverse IP-sizes up to 20 x 40 cm. The read out resolution can be set up to 100 pm or 50 pm. The BAS5000, is based on a new confocal read out optic which is... 

The sensitivity of the luminescence IP s in the systems employed here decreases with increasing x-ray energy more strongly than in the case of x-ray film. Therefore, this phenomenon must be compensated by using thicker lead front and back screens. The specific contrast c,p [1,3] is an appropriate parameter for a comparison between IP s and film, since it may be measured independently of the spatial resolution. Since the absorption coefficient p remains roughly constant for constant tube voltage and the same material, it suffices to measure and compare the scatter ratio k. Fig. 2 shows k as a function of the front and back screen thickness for the IP s for 400 keV and different wall thicknesses. The corresponding measured scatter ratios for x-ray films with 0,1 mm front and back screens of lead are likewise shown. The equivalent value for the front and back screen thicknesses is found from the intersection of the curves for the IP s and the film value. 

To evaluate the image quality of the processing system, one can determine classical parameters like spatial resolution, contrast resolution, dynamic range, local and global distortion. Guidelines for film digitization procedures have been well described now. Furthermore, a physical standard film for both equipment assessment and digitization calibration and control, will be available in a next future (4). 

Concerning the spatial resolution of NR images the present IP are not adequate to the best film based direct neutron imaging techniques. However, with time-and the development of new IP technology there are good possibilities to improve the inherent unsharpness of the IP systems to the level even better than with Gd/film combination ...

A newer and perhaps more useful application of ellipsometry to Langmuir films is their lateral characterization via ellipsometric microscopy [146], A simple modification of the nuU ellipsometer allows one to image features down to 10-/im resolution. Working with a fixed polarizer and analyzer, some domains are at extinction while others are not and appear bright. This approach requires no fluorescent label and can be applied to systems on reflective supports. 

One interesting new field in the area of optical spectroscopy is near-field scaiming optical microscopy, a teclmique that allows for the imaging of surfaces down to sub-micron resolution and for the detection and characterization of single molecules [, M]- Wlien applied to the study of surfaces, this approach is capable of identifying individual adsorbates, as in the case of oxazine molecules dispersed on a polymer film, illustrated in figure Bl.22,11 [82], Absorption and emission spectra of individual molecules can be obtamed with this teclmique as well, and time-dependent measurements can be used to follow the dynamics of surface processes. 

Figure Bl.22.11. Near-field scanning optical microscopy fluorescence image of oxazine molecules dispersed on a PMMA film surface. Each protuberance in this three-dimensional plot corresponds to the detection of a single molecule, the different intensities of those features being due to different orientations of the molecules. Sub-diffraction resolution, in this case on the order of a fraction of a micron, can be achieved by the near-field scaiming arrangement. Spectroscopic characterization of each molecule is also possible. (Reprinted with pennission from [82]. Copyright 1996 American Chemical Society.)...

Another approach to improving resolution is to use thin films of stationary phase. Capillary columns used in gas chromatography and the bonded phases commonly used in HPLC provide a significant decrease in plate height due to the reduction of the Hs term in equation 12.27.
