Publisher Summary This chapter describes the self-imaging phenomenon and its
applications. The self-imaging phenomenon requires a highly spatially coherent …

Deflectometry as a technique to assess reflective surfaces has now existed for some 40
years. Its different aspects and variations have been studied in multiple theses and research …

X-ray radiographic absorption imaging is an invaluable tool in medical diagnostics and
materials science. For biological tissue samples, polymers or fibre composites, however, the …

First Talbot interferometry in the hard X-ray region was demonstrated using a pair of
transmission gratings made by forming gold stripes on glass plates. By aligning the gratings …

A soft x-ray laser (wavelength λ= 15.5 nanometers) was used to create a moiré deflectogram
of a high-density, laser-produced plasma. The use of deflectometry at this short wavelength …

The Talbot interferometer, as a periodic reproduction of momentum distribution in the time
domain, finds significant applications in multiple research. The interparticle interactions …

The latest developments in x-ray imaging are associated with techniques based on the
phase contrast. However, the image reconstruction procedures demand significant …

Objective In this work, a reflective beam-splitter based on a metallic Ronchi diffraction
grating normally illuminated is designed and analysed. This kind of beam-splitter could have …

Purpose: The differential phase contrast CT is emerging as a new technology to improve the
contrast sensitivity of the conventional CT. Via system analysis, modeling, and computer …

Purpose: Differential phase contrast CT (DPC‐CT) is emerging as a new technology to
improve the contrast sensitivity of conventional attenuation‐based CT. The noise equivalent …
