چکیده

A molybdenum/silicon multilayer-coated 1:1 ring-field optic with a numerical aperture of 0.0835 is used to carry out soft-x-ray projection imaging with undulator radiation at 12.9 nm. An ideal optic of this type should be able to image 0.1-µm features with a contrast exceeding 90% at this wavelength. The useful resolution of our ring-field optic is experimentally found to be approximately 0.2 µm, probably because of the presence of substrate figuring errors.

Optical klystron FEL scheme for x-ray coherent harmonic generation at ISLF storage ring

The possibility of inserting an optical klystron on the storage ring of an Iranian Light Source Facility as a Synchrotron Radiation Free electron Laser for coherence harmonic generation in the soft x-ray spectrum has been studied. The study has been performed using the 3D FEL simulation code GENESIS 1.3 and in accordance with the available characteristic parameters of ISLF. Different potential ...

Varying Collimation for Dark-Field Extraction

Although x-ray imaging is widely used in biomedical applications, biological soft tissues have small density changes, leading to low contrast resolution for attenuation-based x-ray imaging. Over the past years, x-ray small-angle scattering was studied as a new contrast mechanism to enhance subtle structural variation within the soft tissue. In this paper, we present a detection method to extrac...

X-ray phase contrast tomography by tracking near field speckle

X-ray imaging techniques that capture variations in the x-ray phase can yield higher contrast images with lower x-ray dose than is possible with conventional absorption radiography. However, the extraction of phase information is often more difficult than the extraction of absorption information and requires a more sophisticated experimental arrangement. We here report a method for three-dimens...

Full-field transmission x-ray imaging with confocal polycapillary x-ray optics.

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 his...

Imaging the Circumnuclear Region of NGC 1365 with Chandra

We present the first Chandra/ACIS imaging study of the circumnuclear region of the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 1365. The X-ray emission is resolved into point-like sources and complex, extended emission. The X-ray morphology of the extended emission shows a biconical soft X-ray emission region extending ∼5 kpc in projection from the nucleus, coincident with the high excitation outflow cones seen ...
