Abstract
A detection system for an x-ray microscopy system utilizes high bandgap, direct conversion x-ray detection materials. The signal of the x-ray projection is recorded in a spatial light modulator such as a liquid crystal (LC) light valve. The light valve is then read-out by a polarized light optical microscope. This configuration will mitigate the loss of light in the optical system over the current scintillator-optical microscope-camera detection systems.
