Simple dose rate measurements for a very high synchrotron X-ray flux

Giorgio Margaritondo

Dose measurements based on methylene blue (MB) bleaching, widely used for ultraviolet light, can also be applied to X-rays including very high flux levels. This method has been tested by using both MB bleaching and Fricke dosimetry for a conventional monoc ...

Soft-tissue phase-contrast tomography with an x-ray tube source

Christian David

We report the first experimental soft-tissue phase-contrast tomography results using a conventional x-ray tube source, with a millimeter-sized focal spot. The setup is based on a Talbot-Lau grating interferometer operated at a mean energy of 28 keV. We pre ...

The sporolide quinone acid is a key fragment in the biosynthesis of the complex heptacyclic marine metabolite sporolide. We report a concise enantioselective route to this fragment, which is obtained in seven steps with 65% overall yield from trimethoxyben ...

Hard-X-ray dark-field imaging using a grating interferometer

Christian David

Imaging with visible light today uses numerous contrast mechanisms, including bright- and dark-field contrast, phase-contrast schemes and confocal and fluorescence-based methods. X-ray imaging, on the other hand, has only recently seen the development of a ...

Focus Detector Arrangement For Generating Phase-Contrast X-Ray Images and Method for this

Christian David

A bundled electron beam (BEB) (14) is controlled regarding its excursion in its direction by two pairs of plate electrodes (17.1,17.2;18.1,18.2) that operate vertically to each other. The BEB can use appropriate control of these plate electrodes to scan an ...

Grating interferometer based scanning setup for hard x-ray phase contrast imaging

Christian David

In x-ray radiography, particularly for technical and industrial applications, a scanning setup is very often favorable when compared to a direct two-dimensional image acquisition. Here, we report on an efficient scanning method for grating based x-ray phas ...

Phase retrieval and differential phase-contrast imaging with low-brilliance X-ray sources

Christian David

X-ray radiographic absorption imaging is an invaluable tool in medical diagnostics and materials science. For biological tissue samples, polymers or fibre composites, however, the use of conventional X-ray radiography is limited due to their weak absorptio ...

X-ray imaging techniques and exobiology

Philippe Gillet

X-ray imaging techniques at the best spatial resolution and using synchrotron facilities are put forth as powerful techniques for the search of small life forms in extraterrestrial rocks under quarantine conditions. Absorption and fluorescence X-ray microt ...

Use of photoelectron microscopes as X-ray detectors for imaging and other applications

Giorgio Margaritondo

We demonstrate with practical tests that a photoelectron emission microscope (PEEM) can be advantageously used as a high-lateral-resolution detector of X-rays. The advantages of this approach are discussed, in particular for coherence-based techniques. (C) ...

Coherence based contrast enhancement in x-ray radiography with a photoelectron microscope

Giorgio Margaritondo

We show that a photoelectron spectromicroscope of the photoelectron emission microscope type can be used as an x-ray imaging detector for radiology. Using high penetration hard-x-ray photons (wavelength < 0.1 nm), samples as thick as a few millimeters can ...
