Improving the Quality of X-Ray Images Formed by a Diffraction Lens from a Two-Block Crystalline System

Abstract

The possibility of improving the quality of X-ray images formed using diffraction on a two-block crystalline system is considered. It is shown that the low spatial coherence of the initial radiation improves imaging quality. Conventional wide-focus X-ray tubes can be used as a source for such radiation. The feasibility of using a scanning scheme to reduce the background level in the formed image was also considered by numerical simulation.
