: You can use isotopes, Ir or Yt are most commonly used. These will often work well. If you want highest quality you can do rod anode x-ray machines, at least down to 12 mm or so ID. X-ray energies are !60 kV or so you will be limited in wall thickness.
: Some vendors are:
: FeinFocus X-ray GmbH
: Hagenburger StraBe 8 AD-3050
: Wunstorf 1, Germany: Ridge Inst. Company, Inc.

: : Does anyone have any information on a radiographic technique in which the source is placed onto the tube surface. Types of tubes are 2" OD, I believe the technique uses an Iridium source with a strength of 5 curies or less.: : Any info on sensitivity, or who uses such a technique?
