X-ray imaging on biological specimens

Journal Article · · Proc. Int. Conf. Lasers; (United States)
OSTI ID:5998195

The author compares alternative techniques for x-ray imaging of biological specimens on the basis of (1) transverse and longitudinal resolution, (2) depth of field, (3) choice of recording medium, and (4) recording efficiency. The author shows that for all imaging techniques, the dosages suffered by specimens are so high that the living state cannot be preserved, nor can the structural integrity of the specimen be maintained in the usual sense. 23 references, 2 tables.
