Abstract

Here we present our recent progress in the field of x-ray dark-field and phase-contrast imaging using a grating interferometer. We describe the basic imaging principles of grating-based phase-contrast and dark-field radiography and present some exemplary results obtained for simple test objects and biological specimens. Exemplary results obtained with standard x-ray tube sources.
