Abstract
An imaging chamber for a radiographic system for exposing an image receptor sheet to an X-ray source. A chamber with an X-ray window having low and uniform X-ray absorption and being substantially rigid for maintaining a uniform gap spacing between the electrodes with a high pressure in the gap. A window comprising inner and outer plates joined at the sides and a space between the sides with a compression resistant filler, with one plate stressed in compression and the other stressed in tension. A chamber using the X-ray absorbing gas to press the receptor sheet against an electrode to achieve the desired sheet configuration.
