The results of “snap shot” radiography using laser-induced neutrons and X-rays simultaneously. (Left) Photograph of the samples: Nickel metal hydride battery (Ni-MH), nickel cadmium battery (Ni-Cd), and boron carbide powder (B2C). (Center) X-ray radiography, where B2C is transparent to X-rays. (Right) Neutron radiography. The Ni-Cd can be distinguished from the Ni-MH based on the darkness of the shadow. In addition, low transmittance was observed for B2C. These results highlight the advantage of neutrons, which can identify materials that are transparent to X-rays.
