Abstract: Images of small fluorescence X-ray sources obtained by diffraction
with opaque spheres were recorded with a flow-proportional counter and on X-ray
sensitive film. Image fluxes and intensities obtained experimentally were
compared with theoretical estimates made using analytical expressions derived
from the sphere's point-source imaging properties.
