(a) Lateral slice through a 3D lamino­graphic reconstruction (0.36 µm effective pixel size) of a resolution test pattern (model ANT HXRCAL 25 nm, Edmonton, Canada), measured by LAMINO-II at IMAGE with a 45° tilt angle and with filtered whitebeam (B = 1.8 T, 3 mm PG and 3 mm SiC filters, 3000 projections for a total measurement time of 10 minutes). The sample-to-detector distance of ∼40 mm in combination with sufficiently closed primary slits of the beamline leads to features typical for beam propagation in the edge-enhancement regime (Cloetens et al., 2001BB16). (b)–(d) Grey value line profiles along the respective 1.5 µm, 1 µm, and 0.75 µm half pitch pattern. While from 1.5 µm to 1 µm the contrast decreases only slightly, it is strongly reduced for 0.75 µm, from which we estimate the achieved 3D spatial resolution to 1–2 µm.
