Differential Phase Contrast X-Ray Microscopy

  • Chapter
X-Ray Microscopy and Spectromicroscopy

Abstract

The advantages of using a configured detector to obtain differential phase contrast image in a scanning transmission X-ray microscope are described. A prototype system using a CCD detector has been installed on the microscopy beamline at BESSY, and the first images have been acquired.
