ABSTRACT
We discuss a portable edge illumination x-ray phase contrast imaging system based on compact piezoelectric motors, which enables its transportation to different environments, e.g., hosting different x-ray source technologies. The analysis of images of standard samples reveals an angular sensitivity of 270 ± 6 nrad, which compares well with the 260 ± 10 nrad reported for previous systems based on stepper motors, demonstrating that system portability can be achieved without affecting phase sensitivity. The results can also be considered a test of the performance of the piezoelectric motors, and as such could be of interest to researchers planning their use in other imaging systems.
