The edge-illumination (EI) technique has been used to provide attenuation, refraction, and scattering contrast in both biological and non-biological samples. However, the retrieval of low scattering signals by fitting a single Gaussian remains problematic, principally due to the inability of the EI system to achieve perfect dark-field illumination. We present a new retrieval method that fits three Gaussians, which successfully overcomes this limitation, and provide examples of the retrieval of such signals in highly absorbing, weakly scattering samples. date: 2018-08-15 date_type: published publisher: Optical Society of America official_url: https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.43.003874 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type: letter article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1568114 doi: 10.1364/OL.43.003874 language_elements: English lyricists_name: Endrizzi, Marco lyricists_name: Maughan Jones, Charlotte lyricists_name: Munro, Peter lyricists_name: Olivo, Alessandro lyricists_name: Vittoria, Fabio lyricists_id: MENDR57 lyricists_id: CMAUG53 lyricists_id: PRTMU72 lyricists_id: AOLIV86 lyricists_id: VITTO07 actors_name: Munro, Peter actors_id: PRTMU72 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Optics Letters volume: 43 number: 16 pagerange: 3874-3877 issn: 0146-9592 citation: Maughan Jones, C; Vittoria, FA; Olivo, A; Endrizzi, M; Munro, PRT; (2018) Retrieval of weak x-ray scattering using edge illumination.
