Synchrotron Radiation X-Ray Phase-Contrast Tomography Visualizes Microvasculature Changes in Mice Brains after Ischemic Injury

Figure 1

Schematic of the imaging system of SRXPCT. The monochromatic SR system at the BL13W1 beamline outputs 16 KeV X-ray illuminating the brain sample. The sample was rotated on the sample stage for CT reconstruction. Images were recorded by a high-resolution CCD (pco. 2000, PCO AG, Kelheim, Germany) with 1 : 2 microscopic lens and Yag:Ce scintillator.
