Laser-plasma interactions have been demonstrated to produce bright sources of energetic radiation including ions, electrons, photons across the electro-magnetic spectrum, and neutrons. Combinations of species can significantly increase information from non-destructive imaging. Here we demonstrate single-shot co-axial radiography with both x-ray and fast-neutron radiation from a laser-driven source using a pair of gated microchannel plate photomultiplier tube channels and a fast scintillator medium. The outlined system demonstrates recovery full-width-half-maximum of (18 ± 3) ns, which is sufficient to isolate x-rays from neutrons up to (72 ± 20) MeV and could be isolated only a short distance (2 m) from the target.
