Principles of resolution and detail detectability

Principle

In X-ray imaging, resolution is an important factor. It determines the sharpness of the images and the de-tails of a sample that can be observed. In this experiment, the different factors that determine the resolu-tion are investigated.

Tasks

1. Investigate the resolution in function of detector binning
2. Investigate the detail detectability
3. Investigate the resolution in function of SOD

Learning objectives

• Resolution
• Detail detectability
• Binning
• Focal spot size
• Magnification
