Abstract
A new method of studying the structure of noncrystalline objects based on recording X-rays scattered from the object has been developed. It is established that the contrast of the image formed by scattered X rays on weakly absorbing objects may be much higher than the absorption contrast. It is found experimentally that in many cases the radiation scattered from different portions of a weakly absorbing object contains sufficient information about the internal structure of the object, as well as the presence of various inhomogeneities and their shapes and sizes.
