Properties, Sources, and Detection of Radiation
摘要
Now, it is time to shift our perspective and consider how atoms or molecules can be observed—either directly or indirectly—using X-rays. Accordingly, this chapter is dedicated to the properties, generation, and detection of X-rays and other types of radiation with special attention given to modern X-ray sources and detectors, both of which have advanced rapidly in recent decades, for example, micro-sources and position-sensitive detectors.
