We refer x-raying to a process of interfusing a body by radiation
with x-ray radiation.
X-rays are short wave, energy-rich, electromagnetic radiations.
The wavelength of the x-rays is shorter than the rays of visible
light. The upper array abut on x-raying on the shortwave
ultraviolet radiation (soft radiation) and in the lower array to the
gamma radiation (hard radiation).
X-raying interfuses the matter breezing. But if and how strong the
material is interfused depends on the denseness and the atom sort.
The x-ray inspection technique avails this characteristic
(for example radiometric fill level inspection).
For generation of x-rays a x-ray radiator is used. It consists of
a x-ray tube and a cabinet.
The x-ray tube in its simplest mold consists of a cathode and an
anode, which are situated in a vacuum within a sealed glass body.
Thermionics are accelerated by a high tension of the cathode to the
anode and interfuse the anode material. Thereby they are
decelerated and produce x-rays.

A detector is used to measure the x-ray radiation after the interfusion of the medium.
A detector consists of a scintillator, a tube and the corresponding electronic.
A scintillator is an instrument to proof charged particles, which fly
through the scintillator material (for example sodium
sulfite iodide). They cause a light flash which is
altered by photomultipier (special electron tube
which compound minor light signals) into an
electrical signal. This electrical signal is
transferred to an evaluation unit.
