Focusing Polycapillary Optics and Their Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
A summary of focusing X ray polycapillary optics is presented including history, theory, modeling, and applications development. The focusing effects of polycapillary optics come from the overlap of the beams from thousands of small hollow glass tubes. Modeling efforts accurately describe optics performance to allow for system development in a wide variety of geometries. The focusing of X ray beams with polycapillary optics yields high gains in intensity and increased spatial resolution for a variety of clinical, lab-based, synchrotron or in situ analysis applications.

Framework for computing the spatial coherence effects of polycapillary x-ray optics
Despite the extensive use of polycapillary x-ray optics for focusing and collimating applications, there remains a significant need for characterization of the coherence properties of the output wavefield. In this work, we present the first quantitative computational method for calculation of the spatial coherence effects of polycapillary x-ray optical devices. This method employs the coherent ...
متن کاملComplete Data Sets Acquired with Different Polycapillary Optic - Source Configurations
The work described in this paper concerns a systematic study of the applications of both collimating and slightly focusing polycapillary optical systems to X-ray crystallographic structure determination of egg-white lysozyme using a standard rotating anode source and a low power tabletop microfocusing source. The results summarize a series of measurements comparing duplicate data sets obtained ...

متن کاملFull-field transmission x-ray imaging with confocal polycapillary x-ray optics.
A transmission x-ray imaging setup based on a confocal combination of a polycapillary focusing x-ray optic followed by a polycapillary collimating x-ray optic was designed and demonstrated to have good resolution, better than the unmagnified pixel size and unlimited by the x-ray tube spot size. This imaging setup has potential application in x-ray imaging for small samples, for example, for his...
متن کاملGrid-enhanced X-ray coded aperture microscopy with polycapillary optics
Polycapillary devices focus X-rays by means of multiple reflections of X-rays in arrays of bent glass capillaries. The size of the focal spot (typically 10-100 μm) limits the resolution of scanning, absorption and phase-contrast X-ray imaging using these devices. At the expense of a moderate resolution, polycapillary elements provide high intensity and are frequently used for X-ray micro-imagin...
