Instruct PartnerThis webinar is an excellent opportunity to gain insight into the advances being made to exploit X-rays for large volume nanoscale imaging of biological samples. The webinar will provide an overview of Diamond’s imaging capabilities and the new opportunities for biological imaging presented by Diamond-II, a co-ordinated programme of development that includes a major machine upgrade to a low emittance storage ring at higher energy, as well as a portfolio of new and rebuilt beamlines and enhancements to existing ones.
The increased coherence and brightness made available by Diamond-II will open the way to high-throughput nano-imaging of large volume biological samples. As part of the Diamond-II programme, two flagship proposals have been proposed to provide state-of-the-art facilities for hard x-ray ptychography and x-ray holography through major upgrades to the I13 beamline and a dedicated new beamline for 3D biological imaging.
In this webinar, invited speaker Dr. Alexandra Pacureanu from ESRF will summarise her recent work on the application of x-ray holographic nanotomography and x-ray fluorescence imaging for 3D imaging of tissues and cells to provide a flavour of the current and future landscape enabled by synchrotron sources.
