We quantitatively investigated the influence of silicon crystal surface roughness on the quality of X-ray diffraction and synchrotron radiation-based micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) images. Si(111) crystals with various polishing conditions were examined at beamline BL07 of SAGA-LS. Measurements of diffraction intensity and angular width revealed that increased roughness yielded broader diffraction peaks and higher integrated intensities. Additionally, microCT imaging of wood using monochromated X-rays indicated that rougher crystal surfaces lead to decreased spatial resolution and reduced CT values.
