Abstract :
The authors describe the production of almost monoenergetic radiation, using an X-ray tube and home-made filters, in transmission or diffusion mode. Microtomographic measurements have been carried out, using both Bremsstrahlung and monoenergetic radiation. A better image is clearly obtained in the second case
