Extending the field of view in modulation-based X-ray phase microtomography

Recent advances in propagation-based phase-contrast imaging, such as hierarchical imaging, have enabled the visualization of internal structures in large biological specimens and material samples. However, modulation-based techniques, which provide quantitative electron density information, face challenges when imaging larger objects due to stringent beam stability requirements and detector distortions. Extending the field of view of these methods is crucial for obtaining comparable quantitative
