This paper discusses the development of a real-time high energy x-ray imaging system for use in dynamic fluoroscopy of aero gas turbines. In order to cover the range of subjects on gas turbines, over ten combinations of film and screen types are used. Three different types of x-ray imaging systems were considered for use: direct type intensifiers (cesium iodide phosphors), and indirect type intensifiers — Marconi “Marionette” and the Oude Delft “Delcalix.”
