Two-dimensional ultra-small angle X-ray scattering with grating interferometry

Simon Rutishauser, Christian David, Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

It was recently established that the pixel-wise ultra-small angle x-ray distribution can be retrieved with grating interferometry. However, in these one dimensional approaches the contrast was limited to the direction orthogonal to the structure of the lin ...

A sensitive x-ray phase contrast technique for rapid imaging using a single phase grid analyzer

Simon Rutishauser, Christian David, Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

Phase contrast x-ray imaging (PCXI) is a promising imaging modality, capable of sensitively differentiating soft tissue structures at high spatial resolution. However, high sensitivity often comes at the cost of a long exposure time or multiple exposures p ...

A tilted grating interferometer for full vector field differential x-ray phase contrast tomography

Simon Rutishauser, Christian David, Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

We report on a setup for differential x-ray phase-contrast imaging and tomography, that measures the full 2D phase-gradient information. The setup uses a simple one-dimensional x-ray grating interferometer, in which the grating structures of the interferom ...

Sensitivity of X-ray grating interferometry

Simon Rutishauser, Christian David, Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

It is known that the sensitivity of X-ray phase-contrast grating interferometry with regard to electron density variations present in the sample is related to the minimum detectable refraction angle. In this article a numerical framework is developed that ...

Passive compliant quadruped robot using central pattern generators for locomotion control

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti, Simon Rutishauser, Alexander Spröwitz

We present a new quadruped robot, “Cheetah”, featuring three-segment pantographic legs with passive compliant knee joints. Each leg has two degrees of freedom - knee and hip joint can be actuated using proximal mounted RC servo motors, force transmission t ...
