- A super-resolution x-ray microscope
- Swiss researchers have developed a very-high-resolution x-ray microscope. Their approach combines two well-known microscopy techniques, coherent diffractive imaging CDI and scanning transmission x-ray microscopy STXM. As a result, the new system offers both the high penetration power of x-rays and high spatial resolution. This method will allow other scientists to...
