Accelerator of the Compact Light Source (IMAGE) Technical University of Munich (TUM) Caption The compact synchrotron light source generates highly focused, monochromatic X-rays, thus allowing to measure not only X-ray absorption, but also phase shifts and scattering. The phase contrast, dark field and absorption images acquired using the new technology have complementary properties.
