The ability to non-destructively vizualize interfaces between materials of similar chemical composition is difficult using conventional imaging methods. The DEXI instrument provides images that clearly show these important physical boundaries, even for very challenging low Z materials.

Plastic (low Z materials)

Conventional	Extinction	Refraction	Scattering
The above images of a drilled ABS plastic block provide another example of the DEXI instrument's ability to image interfaces. The plastic piece has five holes drilled in to it – two each from the top and bottom (opposite corners) directed toward the center, and a through hole along the centerline. These holes are not visible in the conventional image; however, each hole can clearly be seen in the extinction, refraction, and scattering images.


Sapphire Spheres

Conventional	Extinction	Refraction	Scattering
These images show sapphire spheres held in a plastic, tubular container filled with water. "Conventionally" the walls of the plastic container are not distinguishable due to its similar x-ray absorptivity to water; however, the extinction, refraction, and scattering images show this interface very clearly. Additional interfaces can only be observed in the unique DEXI images. The fact the container uses tube-within-a-tube construction and the presence of a large bubble surrounding the third sphere is only revealed in the extinction, refraction, and scattering images.
