Abstract
The possibility of using synchrotron radiation (SR) for obtaining the X-ray images of biological objects by the method of refraction radiogr aphy at the energies of 8.9 and 33.2 keV is shown. The results of expe riments at the storage ring VEPP-3 (Novosibirsk) are presented. In com parison with a conventional X-ray source, the exposition time with SR is reduced by a factor of more than a thousand (approximately, down to 1-2 s), and the quality of images is improved.
