#preprint: X-rays can resolve #ultrastructure in #tissue. When studying the brain, #Xrays can detect #synapses. doi.org/10.1101/2023.1… Ana Diaz Adrian A. Wanner Andreas Schaefer The Crick PSI Paul Scherrer Institut European Synchrotron UCL Neuroscience EPFL

This is the team that made this #multidisciplinary work happen: Special mention to Ana Diaz, Alexandra Pacureanu and Andreas Schaefer with whom we started this exciting collaborative project, and to Adrian A. Wanner who brought a transformative insight.

We show that synapses can be resolved densely with X-rays. #XrayConnectomics. doi.org/10.1101/2023.1… Find below 100+ 3D browser-accessible datasets: github.com/cboschp/ptycho… Ana Diaz Adrian A.
