X-ray analysis of a primary sample such as a flexible sheet 60 uses apparatus having a primary sample holder such as a material feed-through system 20 for moving the flexible sheet through the apparatus. An X-ray analysis head 6 containing an X-ray source and an X-ray detector is mounted on a robot arm 4. The robot arm moves in three dimensions so that the analysis head can be brought into position to measure the flexible sheet as it is being brought through the apparatus by the material feed-through system.

An X-ray diffraction apparatus for measuring crystal orientation of crystalline samples is provided. The apparatus comprises a turntable comprising at least one tray; a turntable support platform defining a plane; and a motorized turntable displacement system for remotely displacing the turntable linearly along a first axis parallel to the plane, linearly along a second axis perpendicular to the plane, and rotatably about the second axis; an X-ray assembly provided within the enclosure; and a motorized X-ray assembly displacement system for displacing the X-ray assembly linearly along a third axis, the third axis being parallel to the plane and non-parallel to the first axis; wherein for each one of the crystalline samples, at least one of the motorized turntable displacement system and the motorized X-ray assembly displacement system is actuated to align the collimated X-ray beam with the corresponding measuring position and measure the crystal orientation of the crystalline sample.

An additional mechanism to an apparatus is minimized, and a user's tasks are reduced, thereby enabling acquisition of calibration data.

A second phantom of a second base material, which has different thickness portions, is installed on a filter of a photon counting X-ray CT apparatus, the filter is moved using a filter drive mechanism such that X-rays from an X-ray tube are transmitted through a desired thickness portion of the second phantom, and a computing device radiates X-rays from the X-ray tube in a state in which a first phantom of a first base material, which has a smaller linear attenuation coefficient than the second base material, is inserted into an opening portion such that X-rays are transmitted through the first phantom of the first base material, and acquires projection data based on a detection value output by a detector.

A detection apparatus and a battery production device are described. The detection apparatus includes a support frame, a ray source, a probe, and a carrying platform. The support frame includes a support arm, the ray source and the probe are both connected to the support arm, with the probe facing an exiting port of the ray source, and the carrying platform is located between the ray source and the probe, wherein the ray source and the probe are rotatable about a same rotation axis, and a rotation direction of the ray source is the same as that of the probe, such that during rotation, the probe remains facing the exiting port of the ray source and the carrying platform is located between the ray source and the probe.

Disclosed example radiographic source projectors include: a source housing configured to house a radiographic source capsule and to selectively expose the radiographic source capsule for radiographic imaging; a jacket holding the source housing and comprising a handle for carrying the source housing; and a removable tracker module; and a tracker module holder configured to accept the removable tracker module and to retain the removable tracker module within a cavity of the jacket.
