For many applications there is a requirement for nondestructive analytical investigation of the elemental distribution in sample. With improvement X-ray optics and spectroscopic imagers, full field fluorescence (FF-XRF) methods are feasible. A new device high-resolution imaging, an energy spatial resolving camera, presented. The basic idea behind this so-called "color camera" (CXC) to combine dispersive array detector X-rays, case pnCCD, with polycapillary optics. Imaging achieved using...

A full field-X-ray camera (FF-XRC) was developed for performing the simultaneous mapping of chemical elements with a high lateral resolution. The device is based on conventional CCD detector coupled to straight shaped polycapillary. Samples are illuminated at once broad primary beam that can consist X-rays or charged particles in two different analytical setups. characteristic photons induced samples guided by polycapillary allowing elemental imaging without need scanning. single photon...

The color X-ray camera SLcam(R) is a full-field, single photon detector providing scanning free, energy and spatially resolved imaging. Spatial resolution achieved with the use of polycapillary optics guiding photons from small regions on sample to distinct dispersive pixels CCD. Applying sub-pixel resolution, signals individual capillary channels can be distinguished. Accordingly spatial released pixel size being confined rather diameter channels. In this work new approach algorithm...

Formal methods are a promising alternative to simulation-based verification of mixed-signal systems. However, in practice, such fail scale with heterogeneity and complexity today's analog/mixed-signal Furthermore, it is unclear how they can be integrated into existing flows. This paper shows path overcome these obstacles. The idea use hierarchical flow, which components verified by formal or multirun simulation. To transport results across hierarchies, we represent parameters properties...
