Measurement of X-ray Beam Coherence along Multiple Directions Using 2-D Checkerboard Phase Grating10:39

Measurement of X-ray Beam Coherence along Multiple Directions Using 2-D Checkerboard Phase Grating

10.1K
The measurement protocol and data analysis procedure are given for obtaining transverse coherence of a synchrotron radiation X-ray source along four directions simultaneously using a single 2-D checkerboard phase grating. This simple technique can be applied for complete transverse coherence characterization of X-ray sources and X-ray...

Preparing Adherent Cells for X-ray Fluorescence Imaging by Chemical Fixation

9.8K
Here, we present a protocol on how to determine the quantity and distribution of metals in a sample using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence. We focus on adherent cells, and describe the chemical fixation method to prepare this sample. We then describe how to mount and image the sample using synchrotron X-rays.

Wideband Optical Detector of Ultrasound for Medical Imaging Applications

11.7K
Optical detection of ultrasound is impractical in many imaging scenarios because it often requires stable environmental conditions. We demonstrate an optical technique for ultrasound sensing in volatile environments with miniaturization and sensitivity levels appropriate for optoacoustic imaging in restrictive scenarios, e.g. intravascular...

X-ray Crystallography

25.8K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
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...

X-ray Dose Reduction through Adaptive Exposure in Fluoroscopic Imaging

14.8K
We are developing a dynamic adaptive exposure technique using our scanning beam digital X-ray system. Rather than exposing an object uniformly, the exposure is adapted depending on the opacity of the object. Here we show an experiment on an anthropomorphic phantom that resulted in a dose saving of...

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Engineering

Background:

  • Indirect X-ray imaging detectors use scintillator screens, long-working-distance microscope lenses, and high-speed cameras for fast imaging with synchrotron radiation.
  • Current systems are limited by low coupling efficiency (approx. 5%) of standard long-working-distance microscope lenses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop a novel long-working-distance microscope lens system with a large numerical aperture (NA) to enhance coupling efficiency.
  • To improve the performance of indirect X-ray imaging detectors for faster data acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a new long-working-distance microscope lens system achieving an NA of 0.5 at 8× magnification.
  • Integrated the new lens system with a 50 µm LuAG:Ce scintillator and a high-speed complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera.
  • Compared the developed system with a commercial Mitutoyo system (NA 0.21 at 7.5× magnification).

Main Results:

  • The developed lens system achieved approximately twice the NA and four times the coupling efficiency compared to the Mitutoyo system.
  • The indirect X-ray imaging detector achieved a frame rate of 100,000 frames/s.
  • Fast X-ray microtomography was realized with a temporal sampling rate of up to 25 tomograms/s.

Conclusions:

  • The novel long-working-distance microscope lens system significantly enhances coupling efficiency in indirect X-ray imaging detectors.
  • This improvement enables unprecedented speeds for X-ray imaging and microtomography applications using synchrotron radiation.
