研究目的
To review the current progress in hard-X-ray imaging microscopy based on the self-imaging phenomenon (Talbot effect), focusing on its application for non-destructive visualization of internal structures with high spatial resolution and sensitivity.
研究成果
X-ray phase-contrast microscopy using the self-imaging phenomenon offers high sensitivity and spatial resolution, enabling quantitative visualization for materials and life sciences. It outperforms conventional methods and is adaptable to various X-ray sources, with potential for future advancements in achromatic optics and energy-resolved detectors.
研究不足
Spatial resolution is limited by the numerical aperture of X-ray lenses and detector resolution; sensitivity decreases with high magnification due to reduced wavefront slope. Requires high-spatial-coherence X-rays or specialized gratings for low-brilliance sources, and unwrapping algorithms are needed for phase images with large phase shifts.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The review discusses various setups for X-ray phase-contrast microscopy using the Talbot effect, including projection types and setups with X-ray lenses and gratings. Theoretical models based on Fresnel diffraction and geometrical optics are employed to describe the self-imaging phenomenon and its application in interferometry.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Examples include polystyrene spheres, Ta test charts, polyimide films, and polymer blends, selected to demonstrate imaging capabilities. Data is sourced from synchrotron facilities like SPring-8 and laboratory X-ray sources.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes monochromatic X-ray sources, Fresnel zone plates, phase and absorption gratings, X-ray image detectors (e.g., CCD cameras), and monochromators. Materials involve specimens like light-element materials for biological and materials sciences applications.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Procedures involve illuminating specimens with X-rays, using gratings to generate self-images, employing fringe scanning or Fourier transform methods for phase retrieval, and performing tomography. Workflows include setup alignment, data acquisition, and image processing.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis includes retrieving differential-phase images, phase images, and visibility-contrast images using algorithms like fringe scanning, Fourier transform, and adaptive deconvolution. Statistical techniques assess sensitivity and spatial resolution.
