A versatile laboratory setup for high resolution X-ray phase contrast tomography and scintillator characterization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

X-ray micro-tomography (μCT) is a powerful non-destructive 3D imaging method applied in many scientific fields. In combination with propagation-based phase-contrast, the method is suitable for samples with low absorption contrast. Phase contrast tomography has become available in the lab with the ongoing development of micro-focused tube sources, but it requires sensitive and high-resolution X-ray detectors. The development of novel scintillation detectors, particularly for microscopy, requires more flexibility than available in commercial tomography systems.

Objective

We aim to develop a compact, flexible, and versatile μCT laboratory setup that combines absorption and phase contrast imaging as well as the option to use it for scintillator characterization. Here,
