Full field transmission hard X ray microscopy TXM has been widely applied to study morphology and structures with high spatial precision and to dynamic processes. Zernike phase contrast ZPC in hard X ray TXM is often utilized to get an in line phase contrast enhancement for weak absorbing materials with little contrast differences. Here following forward image formation we derive and
Phase contrast is a microscopy technique that deals with this problem. Phase contrast microscopy works by using two specific microscope components the condenser annulus and the objective phase plate to create a phase shift of light that results in an image with greater contrast

Dec 01 2006 F. Zernike discovered the concept of phase contrast in 1932 and utilized it in optical microscopy in 1935. And later he won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1953. He increased the phase difference between the transmitted and diffracted light by π/2 using a special plate in the back focal plane of the objective lens 5 .
In positive phase contrast the object e.g. cell component appears darker than the surrounding background. In negative phase contrast the object appears brighter than the background. 13 Frits Zernike 1888–1966 received a Nobel prize in 1953 for his discovery of phase contrast. Microscopy

Phase contrast microscopy was invented by the Dutch physicist Frits Zernike in 1932. This great invention earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1953. The main difficulty in observing living cells was that they are practically transparent. For this reason if they were looked at through a conventional microscope with transmitted light it was
