Providing a safer X-ray inspection apparatus. The X-ray inspection apparatus (10) includes a conveyor (12) to convey a product, an X-ray irradiator (13) to irradiate X-rays generated by an X-ray tube (132a) on the product, a line sensor (14) to detect the X-rays irradiated on the product, a controller (20) to output, to the X-ray irradiator, a first voltage value and a first current value, which respectively are the value of a voltage and the value of a current which are to be inputted to the X-ray tube, so that the output of the X-ray tube is equal to or less than a maximum output, and an electric power controller (134) configured as a component separate from the controller. In a case where the output of the X-ray tube exceeds the maximum output when the current at the current value outputted from the controller is inputted to the X-ray tube, the electric power controller restricts the current inputted to the X-ray tube independently from the controller so that the output of the X-ray tube is equal to or less than the maximum output.

Providing an inspection image display device to display images that make it easy to recognize undesirable parts in products. An X-ray inspection device serving as an inspection image display device comprises a conveyor to convey products, an X-ray irradiator to irradiate X-rays on the products conveyed by the conveyor, an X-ray detector to detect X-rays of a low energy band and a high energy band, an image generation unit, and a display. The image generation unit generates a first difference image by performing a subtraction process using a first transmission image based on the detection results for the X-rays of the low energy band, and a second transmission image based on the detection results for the X-rays of the high energy band. The image generation unit generates a second difference image by performing a subtraction process using the first difference image and either the first transmission image or the second transmission image. The display displays the second difference image.

Providing an X-ray inspection apparatus with which it is possible to present an image in which the position of an undesirable part in a product can easily be recognized by a worker.
