Scattered light absorber:
To improve the quality of X-ray projection images scattered light absorbers are used.They absorb X-ray photons which are scattered on the object to be examined before hitting on the X-ray film. Such scattered light absorbers consist of a cross grating with a high aspect ratio made of an X-ray absorbing material. This can be realized by micro electro deposition or lattices that are etched out of silicon, and are coated with an absorbing material.
Typical properties:
- Aspect ratio: > 10
- Material: Gold or Silicon with additional coating
