Popis: We report an X-ray optical system 'Owl', capable of dark-field imaging. It comprises a Bragg case asymmetric monochromator and a monolithic X-ray optics housing a collimator C and an analyzer A that can select only the refracted light by 4,4,0 diffraction and crystals C and A of 1.08 mm thickness. The angular width of diffraction is 0.3 murad at an X-ray energy of 35 keV. It has been proven that one can obtain the dark-field image corresponding to a forward diffraction beam as well as the bright-field image corresponding to a diffraction beam or vice versa depending on the specified thickness of the analyzer. Images due to refraction contrast in the dark-field imaging are clearly shown. In this paper, design and test of this X-ray optics and its preliminary applications are described in detail. Also another X-ray optics 'Trinity', which is capable of viewing three types of contrast, namely, refraction, phase interference and absorption, has been implemented.
