Pearls of different origin have been tested with this new method. DEI images - especially of large pearls - give more accentuated internal growth features in comparison with usual X-radiographs and show structures which could not be made visible with conventional methods. The DEI method furthermore offers a tool for the separation of larger tissue-nucleated cultured pearls from natural freshwater pearls if conventional X-ray methods fail.}, note = {Schlueter, J.; Lohmann, M.; Metge, j.; Reime, B.: Diffraction Enhanced Imaging, a new X-ray method for detecting internal pearl structures.
