X-ray flash radiography is an effective diagnostic in implosive research. While scattering reduces the contrast of radiography, the anti-scattering grids can effectively intercept the scattered radiation and acquire better images. A focused sub-megavolt grid is elaborately manufactured with the combination of lithography, etching, and laser drilling. The consistency of Monte Carlo simulations and radiographic experiments suggests a transmission of about 36% and a 1000 times improvement for the signal to scatter ratio of the grid.
