A "Bioscope" system using double-sided silicon strip detectors and self-triggering read-out chips

: The components and the design of a 640 by 640 channel radiation detection system based on double-sided silicon strip detectors and self-triggering read-out chips are presented. The system has been designed for applications in autoradiography and X-ray imaging in medicine, biology and other fields. Images and results from first tests of the system are shown. ?
