Abstract

We developed a technique for performing quantitative phase reconstructions from differential phase contrast images obtained using a configured detector in a scanning transmission X-ray microscope geometry. The technique uses geometric optics to describe the interaction of the X-ray beam with the specimen, which allows interpretation of the measured intensities in terms of the derivative of the phase thickness. Integration of the resulting directional derivatives is performed using a Fourier integration technique. We demonstrate the approach by reconstructing simulated measurements of a 0.5 - μ m-diameter gold sphere at 7-keV photon energy.
