Crystal-based X-ray interferometry (CXI) detects phase shifts by using the superposition of waves, and its sensitivity is highest among other phase-detecting methods. Therefore, phase-contrast imaging (PCXI) CXI has density resolution PCXI methods enables fine, non-destructive observation with a below sub-mg/cm3. It thus been applied in wide range fields, including biology, medicine, geology, i...
