Designed for Talbot-Lau interferometry and edge illumination imaging from 1 keV to 100 keV, our gratings have produced excellent results for our customers. Gratings are arrays of apertures characterized by the period, the duty cycle (metal width/period), the material height, and the layout area. Microworks can supply gratings with layout sizes ranging from 60 x 20 mm² to 160 x 90 mm². We additionally have experience in stitching/tiling gratings to even larger areas.

See the Spec Sheet below for our standard set of gratings. Custom gratings are available upon request.

We use different substrates for different purposes. For example, polyimide for low-energy applications, silicon for phase gratings, and graphite for absorption gratings.

Our standard set of gratings features 6 µm period parallel lines and is designed for use at 40 keV.

Other Symmetric Grating Sets:

• 8 keV, 2.4 µm period, 50 mm x 50 mm

• 20 keV, 4.8 µm period, diameter: 70 mm

• 55 keV, 8.0 µm period, diameter: 100 mm


Custom Grating Kits:

We offer custom production of grating kits to your specifications.
Options include adaptation to other energies, layout area, 2D gratings (hole arrays for Hartmann sensors), different periods.
