Partially coherent image formation with x-ray microscopes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image formation with partially coherent radiation is evaluated with the Hopkins formula and then applied to x-ray microscopy. Image characteristics expected from instruments with circular and annular pupils in partially coherent conditions are considered for two-point objects and a knife-edge object. The theoretically expected values for image characteristics that are easy accessible by an experiment, such as the width of a knife edge, are given for various x-ray microscopes.

3D simulation of the image formation in soft x-ray microscopes.
In water-window soft x-ray microscopy the studied object is typically larger than the depth of focus and the sample illumination is often partially coherent. This blurs out-of-focus features and may introduce considerable fringing. Understanding the influence of these phenomena on the image formation is therefore important when interpreting experimental data. Here we present a wave-propagation ...
متن کاملPartially Coherent Image Formation Theory for X-ray Microscopy
Partially coherent image formation theory for a full-field imaging microscope is introduced. Propagation of mutual coherence is presented following Huygens-Fresnel principle. The concept of mutual intensity, together with the quasimonochromatic condition under which it is valid, is also introduced. Detailed analysis of a microscope illuminated by a partially coherent source is presented. Mutual...
متن کاملSimulation of partially coherent image formation in a compact soft X-ray microscope.
In this paper, we describe a numerical method of simulating two-dimensional images in a compact soft X-ray microscope using partially coherent illumination considerations. The work was motivated by recent test object images obtained by the latest generation in-house compact soft X-ray microscope, which showed diffraction-like artifacts not observed previously. The numerical model approximates t...
متن کاملNumerical model for tomographic image formation in transmission x-ray microscopy.
We present a numerical image-formation model for investigating the influence of partial coherence, sample thickness and depth-of-focus on the accuracy of tomographic reconstructions in transmission x-ray microscopes. The model combines wave propagation through the object by finite difference techniques with Fourier methods. We include a ray-tracing model to analyse the origin of detrimental str...
متن کاملAcquiring molecular interference functions of X-ray coherent scattering for breast tissues by combination of simulation and experimental methods
Background: Recently, it has been indicated that X-ray coherent scatter from biological tissues can be used to access signature of tissue. Some scientists are interested in studying this effect to get early detection of breast cancer. Since experimental methods for optimization are time consuming and expensive, some scientists suggest using simulation. Monte Carlo (MC) codes are the best...
