Figure 3
The phase-contrast signal increases for the low absorption contrast metal foil sample when increasing the sample-to-detector distance. The graphs show a vertical mean over the bottom 20 rows of pixels of the two images shown in Fig. 2 where the sample is thickest. Data at every 25 mm increase in sample-to-detector distance are shown. The graphs are offset vertically for clarity. (a) Data without phase retrieval and (b) data after phase retrieval, corresponding to Figs. 2(a) and 2(b), respectively. |
