Abstract:
We tested the X-ray monochromatic single crystal imaging method proposed by Fraenkel and Kalman (B. S. Fraenkel and Z. H. Kalman, Physica Scripta 41, 400 (1990)) on the basis of combined polarization factors. We performed dynamical calculation of the angular distribution of intensity of the imaging reflection. It was verified that the polarization of the incident wave has really a decisive role for an applicability of the method. An integrated intensity procedure was developed for simulating the conditions during practical imaging. Its applicability is examined in detail for three cases of multiple diffraction with the primary reflection 420 in Ge crystal. Only two cases of the three mentioned showed to be adjustable, producing sufficiently sharp image. A contrast of the image of the adjusted crystal on background level was calculated for those two cases.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
