ESRF Source

last modified 13-09-2006 11:17

The source characteristics for a electron beam energy of 6.04 GeV (normal mode) are available:

from the ESRF Machine Group
from experimental measurements:
- by measuring the fringes visibility in a Fresnel interference pattern produced by inserting a Boron fiber
- by a Talbot technique
as calculated with XOP2.0

Highlights: X-ray imaging: Phase contrast imaging of lipid membranes in solution; Nanochemical imaging of antimalarial drugs in Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells; X-rays reveal an unfinished self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn; more
