Mechanical design of an ultra-stable x-ray interferometer
Refraction-based x-ray imaging can greatly improve clinical CT. The refraction angles for x-rays are, however, very small, and thus the structure of optical elements of refraction- sensitive systems need to in the as small as a few micrometres and as far apart as two metres. They also need to remain stable on a sub-micrometre level throughout the imaging process. The project is a mechanical design of a Talbot-Lau interferometer that would remain stable even in a clinical conditions.
