Sharpening laboratory X-ray imaging
Full-field transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) is a powerful, non-destructive technique for nanoscale imaging. It delivers significantly higher spatial resolution than visible light microscopy while enabling the inspection of thick samples that electron microscopy cannot penetrate. By bridging this gap, TXM drives critical advancements across diverse scientific fields, from mapping the internal degradation of energy materials to imaging intact biological cells.
