Abstract: Abstract The first results of experiments demonstrating refraction contrast in magnified (x2.5) images obtained using the Bremsstrahlung gamma radiation of 18 MeV betatron with a narrow tantalum (Ta) target inside are presented. The Ta foil-target with a thickness of 13 urn and a length of 4 mm along the electron beam was mounted in a goniometer inside the chamber of the betatron to guide her along the electron beam. In this case, a linear microfocus source of Bremsstrahlung gamma radiation with vertical and horizontal dimensions of 1.5 and 0.0...
