We have developed a novel approach to full-field x-ray #fluorescence #microscopy that uses a Fresnel zone plate as a coded aperture. Read the details here: opg.optica.org/optica/fulltex… Uni Göttingen

Colour images from the shadow of a sample? Scientists at our Uni developed a new way to produce colour X-ray images. Their method and algorithm allow an image of a large area to be produced from a single exposure: ogy.de/4n17, doi.org/10.1364/OPTICA… Optica Publishing Group

Last week, we participated in the yearly organized #UserMeeting2023 DESY (Deutsch). Great to hear about the accomplishments which were achieved at the #synchrotron last year and excited about all the coming experiments at GINIX as well as the opportunities which will come with #PETRAIV

In our recent project, we combined #XFEL holography and scattering of laser-induced shock waves. The results indicate that water molecules rearrange to a dense, simple liquid structure. If your interest is sparked, read the full text here: doi.org/10.1063/5.0131… European XFEL

Last week, we participated in the #CRC1456 "Mathematics of Experiment" retreat, which focuses on the challenge of indirect measurements in natural sciences. We are grateful for these three fruitful and stimulating days where scientists from very different fields came together!

In our recent study, we collected and analyzed 3D brain tissue from patients suffering from #MultipleSclerosis. Using OT theory, we found that neurons in the human cerebellum of MS patients move to a more compact nuclear state. Read our findings here: shorturl.at/bmJP2

Wondering how to take #Xrays images of a single cell in an aqueous environment? Our new method uses a hydrophobically patterned substrate to confine a water droplet and precise positioning with micropipettes to record X-ray holograms: scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?… Uni Göttingen #ESRF

The lung, with its intricate networks of ventilation and vasculature, is an ideal example of how #3D structure enables organ function! In our latest publication, we explore human lung tissue by #XPCT to study pathological abnormalities at various scales: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Scientists around Dr. Constanze Depp, @TingSun_MPINAT & Klaus-Armin Nave have now shown that defective #myelin actively promotes disease-related changes in #Alzheimer’s. Read more about their #research findings here: ⬇ nature #nervecell #amyloidplaques #microglia mpinat.mpg.de/4463902/pr_2308

Cytoarchitecture of SARS-CoV-2 infected hamster lungs by X-ray phase contrast tomography: imaging workflow and classification for drug testing biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

In this latest publication, we study the formation of vesicle condensates induced by the protein synapsin, as a cell-free model system mimicking vesicle pool formation in the synapse. If your interest is sparked, have a look here: doi.org/10.1140/epje/s…

This acoustically driven bubble emits flashes of light during its periodic violent collapses and was imaged with single X-ray free-electron laser pulses European XFEL in our recent study: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… Juan Manuel Rosselló (JMR) Uni Göttingen #SBSL #cavitation #holography

High-throughput, quantification & classification of soft tissue samples are key for #biomedical studies. Here, we present a laboratory #XPCT #imaging & analysis workflow for 3D #histology (e.g., for #SARSCov2 drug testing): rdcu.be/dJlqV Uni Göttingen Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut

In our recent paper we used X-ray #diffraction European Synchrotron (ID02) to resolve the molecular motor spacing and other #muscle properties in single #heart cells. This is a promising way to gain insight into the molecular mechanism of heart contraction: doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.…
