Tomographic reconstruction results of a formalin fixated mouse sample using filtered back projection of a differential phase-contrast measurement. In Quadrants 2 and 4 super-resolution reconstruction with an effective pixel size of 42 μm is shown. In comparison to the standard resolution reconstruction (effective pixel size 83 μm) in quadrants 1 and 3 fine features of the skin and organs can be distinguished and the result is generally sharper. Streak artifacts from beam-hardening caused by the spine are a common issue in imaging mice at low kVp.
