Full-field transmission x-ray imaging with confocal polycapillary x-ray optics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A transmission x-ray imaging setup based on a confocal combination of a polycapillary focusing x-ray optic followed by a polycapillary collimating x-ray optic was designed and demonstrated to have good resolution, better than the unmagnified pixel size and unlimited by the x-ray tube spot size. This imaging setup has potential application in x-ray imaging for small samples, for example, for histology specimens.

متن کاملMeasurements and analysis of radiation effects in polycapillary x-ray optics
Polycapillary x-ray optics are arrays of large numbers of small hollow glass tubes which deflect x rays by successive total external reflection. These optics have growing numbers of applications in areas ranging from medical imaging to microanalysis. An accelerated radiation effects study has been performed to understand the performance limitation of these optics for medium to high intensity ra...
متن کاملGrid-enhanced X-ray coded aperture microscopy with polycapillary optics
Polycapillary devices focus X-rays by means of multiple reflections of X-rays in arrays of bent glass capillaries. The size of the focal spot (typically 10-100 μm) limits the resolution of scanning, absorption and phase-contrast X-ray imaging using these devices. At the expense of a moderate resolution, polycapillary elements provide high intensity and are frequently used for X-ray micro-imagin...
متن کاملPerformance study of polycapillary optics for hard x rays
In order to investigate the feasibility of using Kumakhov capillary x-ray optics for high energy x-ray applications, measurements have been performed on the behavior of capillary optics from 10 to 80 keV. Transmission efficiencies of straight polycapillary fibers of different types have been measured as a function of source location and x-ray energy. The measurements are analyzed using a geomet...
متن کاملCompact x-ray microtomography system for element mapping and absorption imaging.
We have designed and built a compact x-ray microtomography system to perform element mapping and absorption imaging by exploiting scanning fluorescence tomography and full-field transmission microtomography, respectively. It is based on a low power microfocus tube and is potentially appropriate for x-ray diagnostics in space. Full-field transmission tomography yields the three-dimensional inner...
