Abstract
Disclosed herein is an x-ray backscatter apparatus for non-destructive inspection of a part. The x-ray backscatter apparatus includes an x-ray source and an x-ray collimator. The x-ray collimator includes a plurality of emission apertures and a detection aperture. The x-ray backscatter apparatus further includes an x-ray intensity sensor that is fixed to the x-ray collimator over the detection aperture such that at least a portion of an uncollimated x-ray emission, collimated into the detection aperture, is detected by the x-ray intensity sensor. The x-ray backscatter apparatus additionally includes an emission alignment adjuster that is operable to adjust a position of the uncollimated x-ray emission relative to the plurality of emission apertures and the detection aperture in response to the at least the portion of the uncollimated x-ray emission detected by the x-ray intensity sensor.
