A New Method of X-Ray Holographic Tomography

A new method of x-ray holographic tomography, called the pre-amplified x-ray holographic tomography, is proposed to develop x-ray three-dimensional microscopic imaging technique. In this method, the key component is a micro zone plate taken as an imaging element like an optic lens in x-ray field. Some advantages of the method are shown by a numeric example. The method may make it possible to obtain x-ray microscopic imaging of biological specimens at high resolution in three dimensions.
