An x-ray interferometer has been developed that uses two transmission phase gratings to analyze wave front distortions in the hard x-ray range. The interferometer is insensitive to mechanical drift and vibrations, and it is tunable over a wide range of photon energies. This setup was used for differential phase contrast imaging of low-absorbing test objects. We obtained micrographs with moiré fringes of good visibility, which revealed the local phase shift gradient caused by the objects. A comparison with numerically simulated images indicates that quantitative analysis of unknown phase objects is possible. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
