Abstract
First Talbot interferometry in the hard X-ray region was demonstrated using a pair of transmission gratings made by forming gold stripes on glass plates. By aligning the gratings on the optical axis of X-rays with a separation that caused the Talbot effect by the first grating, moire fringes were produced inclining one grating slightly against the other around the optical axis. A phase object placed in front of the first grating was detected by moire-fringe bending. Using the technique of phase-shifting interferometry, the differential phase corresponding to the phase object could also be measured. This result suggests that X-ray Talbot interferometry is a novel and simple method for phase-sensitive X-ray radiography.

A New Optics for Dark-Field Imaging in X-Ray Region `Owl'

TL;DR: In this paper, an X-ray collimator and an analyzer were used for dark-field imaging of boron fibers. But they used only the refracted component from a sample S which was located between C and A, while eliminating the straight component without reacting with it.
