Image plate characterization and absolute calibration to low kilo-electron-volt electrons
Rev. Sci. Instrum., 85 :113306 (November 2014)
Abstract:
We report on the characterization of an image plate and its absolute calibration to electrons in the low keV energy range (1–30 keV). In our case, an Agfa MD4.0 without protection layer was used in combination with a Fuji FLA7000 scanner. The calibration data are compared to other published data and a consistent picture of the sensitivity of image plates to electrons is obtained, which suggests a validity of the obtained calibration up to 100 keV.
