X-Ray Methods of In-Line Phase Contrast and Holography
Abstract
A comparative description of x-ray in-line phase-contrast methods - the method of phase contrast and holography - is presented. The difference between the experimental realizations of those methods is determined as a rule by the distance between the object under study and detection plane. It is shown that this parameter makes the two methods differ from each other both in experimental conditions and image reconstruction procedure, and in applications as well as. The methods of obtaining phase-contrast projections, reconstruction of two- and three-dimensional images and application of those methods to the study of condensed matter are considered. The method of x-ray in-line phase contrast with hard x-ray radiation in a near field is analyzed in detail. The method proved to be efficient in a wide range of applications in biomedicine and material science. The use synchrotron radiation extend the range of applications.
