Figure 12
Absorption (left) and DPC (right) images of a freeze-dried cardiac myocyte recorded at 10 keV photon energy at 2-ID-E. While the specimen is relatively thick and therefore visible in absorption contrast (here recorded with an ion chamber rather than the segmented detector), the phase-contrast image shows considerably more detail, in particular the cross-striations typical of heart muscle. Sample provided by B. M. Palmer, University of Vermont. Image recorded with the modified soft X-ray detector and an aluminium absorber. The step size is 200 nm, and the dwell time is 10 ms.
