Analysis of the resolution of the XBM. (a) The line pattern recorded for determination of the X-ray camera resolution. The Siemens star (b) demonstrates isotropic resolution of the camera. (c) The intensity modulation of the line pattern indicated with a green box in (a) averaged along the lines. (d) The MTF values calculated from the raw data depicted in (c). The orange line is a moving average (Savitzky–Golay) of the MTF values. At 65 line-pairs mm−1 the MTF is 0.1 which fulfills the requirement of resolving the blur caused by a 50 µm X-ray source. |
