The Advanced Photon Source of the Argonne National Laboratory in the United States is currently undergoing a shutdown in order to upgrade its storage ring to a multi-band achromat. The expectation is to recommence operations of the ring in the year 2024. Accordingly, the 12-ID-C beamline, which is a dedicated Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) beamline, has been actively developing a setup to...
Lensless X-ray coherent diffraction imaging (CDI), facilitated by ptychography, has emerged as a thriving field with promising applications in materials and biological sciences with a theoretical imaging resolution only limited by the X-ray wavelength. Most small-angle scattering based CDI methods use transmission geometry, which is not suitable for nanostructures grown on opaque substrates or...
The structural connectivity of the brain has been addressed by various imaging techniques such as diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWMRI) or specific microscopic approaches based on histological staining or label‑free using polarized light (e.g., three‑dimensional Polarized Light Imaging (3D‑PLI), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)). These methods are sensitive to different...
