4028131 – X-ray Physics II: Optical Coherence, Imaging and Computed Tomography
The lecture X-ray Physics II builds a bridge from fundamental physics to modern X-ray methods & technology and provides an overview of important modern application fields. The lecture will introduce experimental and theoretical principles of state-of-the-art 2D, 3D, and 4D X-ray imaging techniques. We consider various physical contrast mechanisms, including spectroscopic (absorption, fluorescence) contrast, various interferometric and non-interferometric phase contrast mechanisms, scattering and diffraction based contrasts, concluding with data acquisition and analysis strategies for imaging in real space and reciprocal space.
