Radiography of the Biological samples by X-rays emitted from plasma focus

Abstract

In this paper, a review is presented of the possibility of using plasma focus as X-ray sources for imaging biological samples. First, a presentation of the emission mechanisms and basic groups of X-ray sources was presented. The mechanisms of emission of X-rays from plasma were explained in general, and then an explanation of the advantages of plasma focus as X-ray sources and the factors affecting the energy of the emitted x-rays. Finally, a number of examples of imaging operations of some biological samples were presented using plasma focus devices
