Most cells exist in a hydrated state and often live suspended in solution. In order to be imaged, cells must generally be frozen or dried, and then stained with substances such as heavy metals.

BCDI uses wideband illumination to improve photon efficiency across the full spectrum, eliminating the need for coherent light. However, this extension introduces diffraction aliasing and significant ...

Recent scientific advancements have opened new opportunities for the close observation of physical phenomena. Researchers at University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle recently introduced a ...

Swiss researchers have developed a very-high-resolution x-ray microscope. Their approach combines two well-known microscopy techniques, coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) and scanning transmission ...

A new advance in X-ray imaging has revealed the dramatic three-dimensional shape of gold nanocrystals, and is likely to shine a light on the structure of other nano-scale materials. A new advance in X ...

The authors discuss the valuable information that can be obtained from indexing and its applications in routine screening and analysis of solid forms. Crystal-structure determination using X-ray ...
