Neutron Holography 2 (VIDEO)

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Caption

Passing the neutron beam through successively thicker portions of the spiral plate produces the interference data used to create the second animation below, whose 'fork' grows greater numbers of tines at right as the plate's thickness increases. Combining these data with other neutron measurements can produce 3-D holograms, which could make neutron scan results easier for scientists to interpret visually.
