摘要:
A method of investigating a specimen using a tomographic imaging apparatus comprising:
- A specimen holder, for holding the specimen;
- A source, for producing a beam of radiation that can be directed at the specimen;
- A detector, for detecting a flux of radiation transmitted through the specimen from the source;
- A stage apparatus, for producing relative motion of the source with respect to the specimen, so as to allow the source and detector to image the specimen along a series of different viewing axes;
- A processing apparatus, for assembling output from the detector into a tomographic image of at least part of the specimen,
which method comprises the following steps:
- Considering a virtual reference surface that surrounds the specimen and is substantially centered thereon;
- Considering an incoming point of intersection of each of said viewing axes with this reference surface, thereby generating a set of such intersection points corresponding to said series of viewing axes;
- Choosing discrete viewing axes in said series so as to cause said set to comprise a two-dimensional lattice of points located areally on said reference surface in a substantially uniform distribution.
