Diffracting aperture based differential phase contrast for scanning X-ray microscopy.
It is demonstrated that in a zone plate based scanning X-ray microscope, used to image low absorbing, heterogeneous matter at a mesoscopic scale, differential phase contrast (DPC) can be implemented without adding any additional optical component to the normal scheme of the microscope. The DPC mode is simply generated by an appropriate positioning and alignment of microscope apertures. Diffract...
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 کاملNanoscale quantitative phase imaging using XOR-based X-ray differential interference contrast microscopy
We propose a quantitative x-ray phase imaging technique using previously demonstrated XOR objectives. The fabrication process of XOR is identical to that of a Fresnel zone-plate and as a result the same finest outermost zone width, thus spatial resolution, can be achieved. A series of phase shifts from 0 to 2p is implemented by shifting the relative position of the grating with respect to the z...
متن کاملDiffractive optical elements for differential interference contrast x-ray microscopy.
In this paper we introduce phase diffractive optical elements (DOEs) that beside simple focusing, can perform new optical functions in the range of x-rays. In particular, the intensity of the wavefront can be distributed with almost complete freedom. We calculated and fabricated high resolution DOEs that can focus a monochromatic x-ray beam into multiple spots displaced in a single or two plane...
متن کاملZernike phase contrast in scanning microscopy with X-rays.
Scanning X-ray microscopy focuses radiation to a small spot and probes the sample by raster scanning. It allows information to be obtained from secondary signals such as X-ray fluorescence, which yields an elemental mapping of the sample not available in full-field imaging. The analysis and interpretation from these secondary signals can be considerably enhanced if these data are coupled with s...
