Resumen
An experimental study on hard X-ray pulses emitted by a small plasma focus is performed, regarding its application to biological radiographs in fast dynamic situations. It is found that the radiation intensity in a single shot is high enough to obtain fine resolution radiographs in very short exposures (about 10 ns). As an example, a radiograph on a live mouse is shown. It is found that the relation between responses of different detectors, i.e., thermoluminescence dosimeters and scintillator-photomultiplier, is linear.
