What tube and power supply are you running?
Next up is the LIXI. This company pioneered portable industrial real-time radiography.

In one iteration their battery operated real-time viewer is excited by a radioisotope. Main use is pipe weld inspection.

Other uses are to inspect multilayer PCBs for internal layer connections. instead of looking at it by eye, there is a cabinet to protect the user and TV camera installed on the viewer. For more info on this part search "X-Ray Image Intensifier". A simple pizza-paddle manipulator allows the specimen to be moved around between the X-Ray tube and vi\ewer. In this type the X-Ray tube is mounted inside the cabinet facing down, while the viewer is below the table looking up. A heavy duty i8ndustrial- all metal version of this is the one I'm converting to SDD XRF now.

Another version uses just the X-Ray tube assembly and viewer bolted together, mounted horizontally so a person or camera can look into the viewer. All the X-Ray tube modules perform the same functions but some have the HV generator integral with the tube, controlled by a small box by LV wiring in a single cable, while others have the HV gen inside the (larger) control box itself in which case the HV is conveyed over to the tube via coaxial HV cable, while the other controls are on LV wires to a separate connector (2 cable).

The tube and viewer bolt together with one bolt, making it easy to get double duty like I'm doing with one of the one wire versions.

Pics attached show the components. Except for the size of the box, all the control boxes look nearly identical, HV Voltage and current are adjustable with knobs and everything is fully metered.

Last time I talked to the factory, they were updating to a new solid state X-Ray generator but instead I think they were gobbled up in the oil boom by giant corporations (Schlumbeger?) like so many other small companies were.
