Monochromatic X-rays

Monochromatic X-rays are X-ray beams that consist of photons with the same energy or wavelength. Unlike standard X-rays, which have a spread of energies, monochromatic X-rays provide a very precise and consistent wavelength. This uniformity allows for more accurate imaging and measurements, reducing noise and artifacts caused by varying energies. They are often used in detailed imaging, scientific research, and medical applications where clarity and precision are critical. Generating monochromatic X-rays typically involves specialized equipment, such as synchrotrons or monochromators, to select specific wavelengths for precise applications.
