ResumoThe fine metal wire x-pinch is a compact source of soft-x-ray emission. Under certain conditions, x rays in the 3–7 keV range are emitted in <1 ns bursts from source regions that are <10 μm in size. The small size and high intensity of these 3–7 keV sources makes the x-pinch useful as a point source for x-ray backlighting. This capability has been demonstrated by using an x-pinch to produce radiographic images of separate x-pinches and z-pinches.
