Abstract: In an apparatus for inspecting cream solder on a PCB, a camera captures an image of cream solder coated on the upper surface of the PCB. A first illuminator illuminates the cream solder such that the light reflected from an edge of the-cream solder, forming an angle with respect to the upper surface of the PCB, proceeds toward the camera. A second illuminator illuminates the cream solder such that the light reflected from the upper surface of the cream solder, parallel to the upper surface of the PCB, proceeds toward the camera. A controller controls the camera, the first and the second illuminators, and for processing the image captured by the camera into a binary image.

Abstract: A sectional image photography system includes a mounting table adapted to receive an object to be examined; a radiation projector for projecting a radiation toward an object being examined, the radiation being projected at a same level from different locations; a plane radiation detector for obtaining a plurality of partial radiation images formed from the radiations transmitted through the object in the form of electrical image signals; and an image processor for composition-processing the partial radiation images obtained by the plane radiation detector into a sectional image of a desired section of the object. Here, X-rays are used as the radiation. The plane radiation detector has a plurality of plane radiation detectors which are disposed to correspond to the radiation projected from different locations of the radiation projector. Accordingly, since the radiation images transmitted through the object are directly obtained by the plane radiation detectors, there is no radiation image distortion.

Abstract: A laminography system includes a table, an X-ray source, an image intensifier, a view selector and a camera. The view selector has a prism for refracting a ray of light, and an adjusting part for adjusting the prism to a position in which images at a certain area of an image projecting plane of the image intensifier are received into the camera. The adjusting part has a first motor for rotating the prism along the circumferential direction of the image intensifier, and a second motor for rotating the prism in a direction perpendicular with respect to a radial direction of the image intensifier. Accordingly, the images at any areas of the image projecting plane of the image intensifier can be obtained. In addition, since an optical axis of the image passing through the prism and then received into the camera is in perpendicular relation with the camera, no image distortions occur.
