X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

23.9K
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 Diffraction of Biological Samples

3.8K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
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...

X-ray Imaging

5.5K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Materials Science
  • Physics

Background:

  • Coded aperture X-ray diffraction (XRD) imaging systems offer 3D measurement of X-ray diffraction form factors.
  • Optimizing these systems requires accurate prediction and quantification of performance for specific applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and validate three-dimensional (3D) spatial resolution models for XRD imaging systems incorporating a detector-side coded aperture.

Main Methods:

  • A fan beam coded aperture XRD system scanned 3D printed resolution phantoms.
  • Data reconstruction used a model-based iterative algorithm.
  • Resolution was evaluated using full width at half max and Sparrow criterion, compared against analytical models and new geometric theories.

Main Results:

  • Experimental measurements aligned with theoretical predictions for spatial and form factor resolutions.
  • Observed resolution varied by a factor of two based on metric and model.
  • Achieved depth resolutions of 7-16 μm and transverse resolutions of 0.6-2 μm.

Conclusions:

  • Theories provide a framework for estimating 3D spatial resolution in detector-side coded aperture XRD systems.
  • Understanding theoretical assumptions aids in predicting performance and optimizing future system designs.
  • Data placement between conservative and idealized theories highlights the impact of model assumptions.
