Zusammenfassung:The King’s College London scanning transmission x‐ray microscope in use on beam line 5U2 at the SRS, SERC Daresbury Laboratory, has been modified to allow dark‐field images to be formed using only the x rays scattered by the specimen. Experiments have been performed with a number of different detector geometries, and this has confirmed that the strongest scattering arises from edges or thickness gradients in the specimen. Although the dark‐field signal is only a small fraction of the normal transmitted bright‐field signal, features can be revealed with high contrast, and it has proved possible to detect the presence of features that are below the resolution limit of the microscope.
