Compact high-resolution differential interference contrast soft x-ray microscopy
We demonstrate high-resolution x-ray differential interference contrast DIC in a compact soft x-ray microscope. Phase contrast imaging is enabled by the use of a diffractive optical element objective which is matched to the coherence conditions in the microscope setup. The performance of the diffractive optical element objective is evaluated in comparison with a normal zone plate by imaging of ...
متن کاملX-ray phase-contrast microscopy and microtomography.
In-line phase contrast enables weakly absorbing specimens to be imaged successfully with x-rays, and greatly enhances the visibility of fine scale structure in more strongly absorbing specimens. This type of phase contrast requires a spatially coherent beam, a condition that can be met by a microfocus x-ray source. We have developed an x-ray microscope, based on such a source, which is capable ...
متن کاملCompact Zernike phase contrast x-ray microscopy using a single-element optic.
We demonstrate Zernike phase contrast in a compact soft x-ray microscope using a single-element optic. The optic is a combined imaging zone plate and a Zernike phase plate and does not require any additional alignment or components. Contrast is increased and inversed in an image of a test object using the Zernike zone plate. This type of optic may be implemented into any existing x-ray microsco...
متن کاملCompact laser accelerators for X-ray phase-contrast imaging.
Advances in X-ray imaging techniques have been driven by advances in novel X-ray sources. The latest fourth-generation X-ray sources can boast large photon fluxes at unprecedented brightness. However, the large size of these facilities means that these sources are not available for everyday applications. With advances in laser plasma acceleration, electron beams can now be generated at energies...
متن کاملHigh-throughput, high-resolution X-ray phase contrast tomographic microscopy for visualisation of soft tissue
The use of conventional absorption based X-ray microtomography can become limited for samples showing only very weak absorption contrast. However, a wide range of samples studied in biology and materials science can produce significant phase shifts of the Xray beam, and thus the use of the phase signal can provide substantially increased contrast and therefore new and otherwise inaccessible inf...
