We've used CdWO4 crystals for years. They are highly radiation resistant and
colorless and give VERY bright fluorescence. Saint-Gobain has them in various
forms.
In principle you can mix your own CdWO4 from CdNO3 and NaWO4 ... under proper
conditions you let the solution digest to form microcrys
Hi Ronnie,
We use YAG discs (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet). We buy small 10mm x 100um or 500um
thick discs, break them into shards, glue them to various alignment jigs and
they provide a very effective X-ray visualization tool.
Our latest supplier is Star Tech Instruments

I am trying to find out where I can get the fluorescent material (just a small
flat piece) I can glue to the tip of a pin for aligning the X-ray beam of our
home source. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance!
Ronnie
