The intense beams of X-ray light at the user facilities operated by the PSI Center for Photon Science shed light on the smallest structures of matter.
Lab News & Scientific Highlights
A world-first lens brings neutrons into sharper focus
From thick samples to processes inside bulky equipment, a new type of lens opens the door to high-resolution neutron imaging of working systems.
Nano-insights into bone stability
PSI researchers have used a new imaging technique to more precisely assess the nanostructure of bone in the neck of the femur. This could help understand why they fracture relatively often.
Virtual tissue staining in 3-D
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have developed an AI platform that stains grey micro-CT data like the results of classical histology. This could in the future enable analysis of tissues in three dimensions instead of just thin microscopic sections.
