Patent ID: 8437447

Claim:
A laminography system comprising: a first linear guide defining a z-direction of a Cartesian coordinate system; an imaging radiation source fixable to the first linear guide and movable along the first linear guide, the radiation source configured to form a cone of rays including a central ray defining a y-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system; a detector disposed in a position so as to be struck at a center thereof by the central ray of the radiation source substantially in an x-direction of the Cartesian coordinate system; a first rotation device configured to rotate the detector about a first axis of rotation that is parallel to a z-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system and passes through an intersection of the central array and the detector; a second linear guide, the detector being fixable to the second linear guide and movable on the second linear guide along the first axis of rotation; an object slide disposed between the radiation source and the detector, the object slide being configured to receive an object for inspection; and a second rotation device configured to rotate the object slide about a second axis of rotation that is parallel to the first axis of rotation and passes through an intersection of the central ray and the object for inspection.
