Respiratory diseases are one of the most common causes of death, and their early detection
is crucial for prompt treatment. X-ray dark-field radiography (XDFR) is a promising tool to …

The advancement in micromanufacturing techniques has increased due to the demand for
microtools used in biomedical engineering. The development of tailored micro-sized …

A novel 3D fabrication technique called digital LIGA is proposed, integrating functional
digital printing with 3D microfabrication via electrodeposition. This allows for the realization …

A problem with high aspect ratio x-ray gratings, fabricated by the deep x-ray LIGA process, is
the collapse of the metallic structure when the resist is removed. A unique method that …

X-ray grating interferometry extends conventional X-ray imaging by two additional image
modalities called dark-field and phase-contrast. The first part of this thesis addresses the …
