X-ray contact microscopy system for spectromicroscopy of biological specimens.
An X-ray contact microscopy system has been developed for the study of molecular and elemental distributions in biological specimens based on X-ray absorption characteristics. The system consists of a chamber for measuring XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge structure) of biomolecules, and a contact microscopy system for dried specimens with an electronic zooming tube. With this system the elemen...
متن کاملIntroducing an Optimized Method for Obtaining X-ray Diffraction Patterns of Biological Tissues
Introduction Individual X-Ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. Many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the X-Ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. The goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obt...
متن کاملX-Ray Absorption Spectromicroscopy of Aqueous Samples
X-ray PhotoElectron Emission Microscopy (X-PEEM) has found numerous applications in the surface microchemical analysis of materials science and biological specimens. We have reconfigured the MEPHISTO X-PEEM instrument, installed at the UW-Synchrotron Radiation Center, to measure true x-ray transmission spectra by converting transmitted photons to photoelectrons via a thin photocathode layer of ...
متن کاملNanoscale Examination of Microdamage in Sheep Cortical Bone Using Synchrotron Radiation Transmission X-Ray Microscopy
Microdamage occurs in bone through repeated and excessive loading. Accumulation of microdamage weakens bone, leading to a loss of strength, stiffness and energy dissipation in the tissue. Imaging techniques used to examine microdamage have typically been limited to the microscale. In the current study microdamage was examined at the nanoscale using transmission x-ray microscopy with an x-ray ne...
متن کاملX-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy Imaging of Biological Tissues
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is proving invaluable in determining the average chemical form of metals or metalloids in intact biological tissues. As most tissues have spatial structure, there is great additional interest in visualizing the spatial location of the metal(loid) as well as its chemical forms. XAS imaging gives the opportunity of producing maps of specific chemical types of e...
