X-ray phase-contrast imaging can provide high-quality images of objects with lower radiation dose. But until now these images have been hard to obtain and required special X-ray sources whose properties are only found at particle accelerator facilities. Using a laboratory source with unprecedented brightness, scientists have demonstrated a new approach to get reliable phase contrast with an extremely simple setup.
