Abstract
A device designed to be used for neutron imaging, immersed in a medium containing specimens to be analyzed, comprises a first converter comprising a first material capable of converting thermal neutron radiation into remnant beta radiation and a second converter comprising a second material capable of converting a remnant beta radiation into light radiation, the second converter being in contact with the first converter. A method is also provided for neutron imaging immersed in a medium and using the device.
