1.X-ray Imaging

Two-dimensional projections are possible using this imaging technology. The density affects X-ray absorption. An X-ray source is placed on one side of the object, which is the plants, and an X-ray detector is placed on the opposite side. The X-ray tube emits a short-duration pulse of X-rays, a major portion of which interacts with the investigated object, and some of which pass through the sample and reach the detector, where a radiographic image is created. The degree to which X-rays are attenuated by scattering and absorption within the tissues, where the attenuation properties of tissues range greatly, results in a heterogeneous distribution of X-rays that emerges from the plants.
