Lo scopo principale del progetto iFCX e' lo studio di immagini ad elevata risoluzione per raggi X basati sul utilizzo di ottiche policapillari e CRL. Risultato principale e' la realizzazione di un prototipo per l'imaging in processi dinamici e basso contrasto nel range energetico di 5-30 keV.

Attualmente abbiamo risultati preliminari sia nella risoluzione mediante rivelatori basati su cristalli LiF, che sulla tomografia e ricostruzione 3D di campioni organici.

i-FCX is the only project stickily correlated to XLab Frascati activities

Scientific program:
to study on novel optical solutions for the improvement of image characteristics mainly from the point of view of the imaging procedure (polyCO+phase contrast); activities in two parallel directions:
-- the combination of our optics (old and new designed) and detectors (old and new designed);
-- developing new mechanical solutions for fast image collection (mechanics for movement and synchronization in case of fast processes studied);
- to develop new codes for both simulating and processing the x-ray imaging;
- to study on theory of x ray propagation for micro- and nano- x-ray imaging;
- to study optical transmission properties of nanostructures systems (nanochannel polycapillaries; porous materials; single-walled and multiple-walled nanotubes) for the purpose of their use for high contrast imaging.
