Contrast mechanism illuminated by polychromatic X-rays and tomographic correction
Abstract:
Contrast mechanism of the synchrotron-based monochromatic X-ray imaging has been well-established for the analysis and interpretation of tomographic reconstruction. However, it is not suitable for the laboratory-based polychromatic X-ray imaging and tomography due to the change of illuminated X-ray coherence. Here we have proposed a new contrast mechanism of broad-spectrum-related X-ray imaging by presenting a general mixed contrast formula and its tomographic correction, determined by the coherence degree of light sources. The simulation and experimental results quantitatively verified the polychromatic contrast mechanism and tomographic correction of artifacts related to the feature distribution of spectral broadening, coherent, and incoherent scattering of an object. The new contrast mechanism provided the theoretical explanation and optimization of hard polychromatic X-ray tomography.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
