Abstract
We developed an X-ray pinhole camera using a radio-isotope source that emits only X-rays.We investigated the performance of this system using a 55Fe source with phantom samples. We then applied it to investigate the movement of a 55Fe tracer in Japanese mustard spinach. We obtained X-ray images of the 55Fe tracer in the spinach samples, and found that 55Fe accumulated in the plant.
