Investigations on microstructure of Chinese traditional medicine using phase-contrast imaging with microfocus X-ray tube
The microscopic morphology of plant cells and their ergastic substances is an important standard for the identification of Chinese traditional medicine. We have developed a new method
X-ray phase-contrast imaging (XPCI) based on the microfocus X-ray tube
to explore microstructures of Chinese herbal medicine. The results indicate that XPCI is capable of distinguishing the structures commonly used in the identification. Non-destructive detection and high sensibility are counted among the major advantages of XPCI. The possibility of future applications of XPCI in the field of medicine identification is discussed.
