#Nanoimaging symposium @crick.ac.uk!

At #CrickXrays25 we'll tackle:
💫synchrotron upgrades
📈current limits in throughput, volume, resolution
🧪sample preparation for X-ray PC imaging
🧠♥️applications in neuroscience and tissue life science

#preprint:

We optimised the preparation of tissues for #X-ray phase contrast imaging.

Drying tissue samples (instead of embedding them) brings more signal in #X-ray phase contrast images.

The process largely preserves #ultrastructure.

Wouldn't it be great if we could not only image large connectomic volumes but also completely reconstruct them? And if a whole mouse brain project didn't cost billions?

With the PATHFINDER preprint (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...), we preview a future where it doesn't have to.

#preprint:

We mapped the structure and function of olfactory bulb circuits with in vivo 2-photon microscopy and synchrotron #Xray holographic nanotomography.

Folks! We need your help to establish this platform long term for everyone! Can you help us out spread this video?
