Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) have developed a miniature X-ray source with laser light. They used this light-generated radiation in combination with phase-contrast X-ray tomography… [read more]

Marco Stockmar and co-workers have combined near-field ptychography, a recently developed phase imaging method, with tomography. They have used this technique to visualize the nano-structure of solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Their work highlights the potential of 3D near-field ptychography for… [read more]

Soft tissue disorders like tumors are very difficult to recognize using normal X-ray machines. There is hardly any distinction between healthy tissue and tumors. Researchers at the Technische Universität München (TUM) have now developed a technology using a compact synchrotron source that measures… [read more]
