Scope

This European Standard specifies a method forThe measurement of focal spot dimensions withinThe range of5 }m to 300 wm of X-ray systems up to and including 225 kV tube voltage, by means of radiographs of sharFedges.The image quality andThe resolution of X-ray images highly depend onThe charactersstics of the focal spot.Theimaging qualities of the focal spot are based onThe two dimensional intensity distributioninThe object plane.
