Schematic representation of a parallel-beam inline phase-contrast radiography or tomography set-up for which the ANKAphase computer program is designed. A near-parallel X-ray beam passes through a sample with hidden internal microstructure. The smallest resolved structures have a characteristic size d. Radiographs are recorded on a detector with pixels of size Δ, placed at a single fixed distance z from the sample. In real set-ups the sample diameter is much smaller than the propagation distance, i.e. D z. |
