Mathematical method sharpens X-ray images at the nanoscale
Phys.org ·
The Brief
- An international research collaboration developed a mathematical method for producing higher-quality 3D X-ray images.
- The method is applied to X-ray nanotomography, a technique for three-dimensional imaging at the nanoscale.
- The source describes the image quality as significantly higher than previously possible.
Why it matters
Sharper nanoscale 3D X-ray images could improve structural analysis in materials and life-science imaging, where resolution limits current measurements.
