Popis: We demonstrate measured X-ray dose efficiency results from a 5.6-μm × 6.25-μm pixel-pitch direct-conversion amorphous selenium/CMOS hybrid X-ray imager. Compared to existing scintillator-based imagers, our approach enables up to 100x gains in DQE at spatial frequencies of 20–60 cycles/mm, which could radically accelerate bioengineering research. The measured MTF is 50% at 32 cycles/mm, corresponding to a 16-μm effective object size. We also demonstrate a MTF model which confirms experimental results with an RMS error of 0.02.
