This paper presents the use of Commercial Off The Shelf CMOS image sensors for the acquisition of X-ray images with high spatial resolution. The X-ray images, with application in biology, electronic components inspection or paleontology research, are obtained with 8 keV photons from a Cu tube. The quantum efficiency of the detector is estimated using attenuation lengths of photons in the sensor, and compared to traditional scintillator conversion layers.
