Neutron Imaging

To make a neutron image, a way to obtain neutrons, a collimator to condition the emitted neutrons right into a fairly mono-directional beam and some approach to recording the picture are required. Neutron imaging may be the process of making a graphic with neutrons. The resulting photo is founded on the neutron attenuation homes of the imaged object. The resulting pictures have much in keeping with professional X-ray images, but since the image is based on neutron attenuating properties rather than X-ray attenuation properties, some things easily obvious with neutron imaging could possibly be very challenging or impossible to see with X-ray imaging techniques.
