Deep microstructured transmission gratings used as optical elements in X-ray grating interferometers.
Figure 3. Deep microstructured transmission gratings used as optical elements in X-ray grating interferometers. Left: silicon/gold grating produced at the Paul Scherrer Institut using photolithography, wet etching into silicon, and subsequent electrochemical gold coating. Right: gold grating produced at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology using electron-beam lithography and subsequent synchrotron X-ray lithography at the ANKA storage ring.

Three-dimensional false-colour renderings of a human cerebellum, obtained with X-ray grating interferometric phase-contrast tomography.
Figure 1: Three-dimensional false-colour renderings of a human cerebellum, obtained with X-ray grating interferometric phase-contrast tomography. White matter (orange) can be distinguished from two types of grey matter (blue: stratum granulosum; yellow: stratum moleculare). The data also show blood vessels and individual cells identified as Purkinje cells (detail inset at bottom of figure).
