Quantitative analysis of two-component samples using in-line hard X-ray images

Abstract
Methods for rapid quantitative phase-sensitive X-ray imaging of non-crystalline samples consisting of two distinct components are investigated. The transverse spatial distribution of the projected thickness of each component is reconstructed by computer processing of in-line images collected using synchrotron-generated hard X-rays and a position-sensitive detector with submicrometre spatial resolution. Different imaging techniques and associated image-processing algorithms are considered, with relative advantages and difficulties of each approach compared. A possible generalization of the method for the case of n-component samples is briefly discussed.
