摘要：Holographic X-ray images are produced representing the molecular structureof a microscopic object, such as a living cell, by directing a beam of coherent X-rays uponthe object to produce scattering of the X- rays by the object, producing interference on arecording medium between the scattered X-rays from the object and unscatteredcoherent X-rays and thereby producing holograms on the recording surface, andestablishing the wavelength of the coherent X-rays to correspond with a molecularresonance of a constituent of such object and thereby greatly improving the contrast,sensitivity and resolution of the holograms as representations of molecular structuresinvolving such constituent. For example, the coherent X-rays may be adjusted to themolecular resonant absorption line of nitrogen at about 401.3 eV to produce holographicimages featuring molecular structures involving nitrogen.
