Comparison of the edge quality between PBI (a), PhR (b) and filtered PBI data sets (c). (a)–(c) show profile plots at the same location in PBI and PhR data sets obtained with a 30 cm sample-to-detector distance. In order to suppress the influence of noise, five individual profiles (blue dots) were measured and the average profile (black line) was used for evaluation. The red line resembles the fit of the sigmoid function [equation (3)[link]]. A clearly steeper edge is apparent in (a) due to the strong edge effects; (b) shows a smoother edge but in combination with reduced noise; (c) presents the profile of the PBI data set after iterative use of a low-pass filter to reach the same edge steepness as in (b).
