Abstract

The paper discusses the techniques which have been developed for application to human injury and tolerance and coolant protection research. This system consists of a high-speed motion picture camera which views a 2-inch diameter output phosphor of a high gain 4-stage, magnetically focussed image intensifer tube, gated on an off synchronously with shutter pulses from the motion picture camera. A fast lens optically couples the input photocathode of the image intensifier tube to x-ray images produced on a fluorescent screen by a d. c. x-ray generator. The system is adaptable to a wide variety of experimental configurations. Examples of x-ray penetration of targeted human cadaver head, neck, knee, and lateral thorax views obtained with the system are shown and discussed.
