SiriusXT are pleased to be giving a talk on “Correlative cryo soft X-ray tomography and fluorescent microscopy of biological samples in the laboratory”, at the XRM 2024 conference, 12-16th August in Lund, Sweden.
Soft X-ray Tomography (SXT) had traditionally been confined to synchrotrons, however the breakthrough development of a laboratory scale soft X-ray microscope, the SXT-100, presents the opportunity to integrate this novel technique into light and electron imaging workflows.
One example of a recent case study included correlative imaging of whole, virus-infected cells treated with anti-viral drugs; imaging the 3D distribution of therapeutic-laden nanoparticles in whole cells; and the development of correlative workflows for tissue imaging across scales. An alternative sample carrier in the form of a thin-walled glass capillary was also developed, further enhancing the novelty of the lab-based microscope, the SXT-100.
The recent availability of a compact soft X-ray microscope will catalyze the development of novel workflows and biological imaging applications that can benefit from this innovative technique, while combining the strengths of each modality 🔬
Visit Dr. Sergey Kapishnikov, Imaging Applications Manager at SiriusXT, who will be speaking on Thursday the 15th at 2 pm, in the Amphitheatre.
