Simulation study with a modeled sample using the 3D dual-energy focal stacks imaging method. (a) The sample model in the simulation. The iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) cubic particles are randomly distributed inside the carbon matrix sample with sizes of 100 to 600 nm. The green color represents Fe particles and blue cubes represent Mn. (b, c) 2D STXM images acquired at E = 708 eV and E = 700 eV, respectively. (d, e) 3D reconstructed images of the sample at 708 eV and 700 eV. The colorbar to the right represents the sample density, which is proportional to the optical density. Unit of colorbar: g cm−3. (f) 3D combined representations of Fe (gray color) and Mn (orange color) distributions. |
