Hi guys

This is??my X-ray setup

My x ray generating tube sits within a cylindrical??X-ray??collimator?

This collimator protrudes into??a cardboard box??containing my X-ray detector??and X-ray signal detecting Inspector Usb Geiger counter.

The exit of the X-ray collimator is closed by a less than 0.5 mm Al sheet?

The back is a leaded glass with lead polymer sleeves ..to prevent backscatter from the rear and of my collimator?

My X-ray generating tube is placed in such a way that the cathode is closest to the exit of X-ray beam?

Applying the anode heel effect.

I chose a low Z element Cr about 4 by 2 cm approx??for xrf and titanium orthopedic implant.

Since my tube is not an x -ray tube ,it will not tolerate continuous firing?

So I did it with intermittent shots each lasting about 1 sec

Probably a 70 kvp will be more damaging than a 30 kvp like in my setup

You notice a polymer covering for almost everything?

This is a probably antimony polymer from some old stripped medical X-ray aprons courtesy of??a hospital where I work.The X-ray glass was also surplus from my hospital .

Should be sufficient to block 30 kvp X-ray?

Using multiple layers of apron material just in case.

Pics are for my setup,transformer and an exact replica of my X-ray collimator??and a??Cr and Ti pic

Apologies for not showing the X-ray generating tube.
