X-Ray Bio-Imaging

Research Projects

Hard x-ray bio imaging
We invented the liquid-metal-jet electron-impact hard x-ray source. The spatial coherence and power of this source enables phase-contrast imaging to be performed with unprecedented spatial resolution. Applications include micro-angiography, small-animal tomography and soft-tissue imaging.

Soft x-ray microscopy
We developed the first sub-visible-resolution laboratory water-window microscope. It is based on pioneering work in liquid-jet laser-plasma sources and in-house zone-plate optics. Applications include 2D and 3D nanoimaging of cellular and other wet samples samples.
