Soft X-ray Microscopy Techniques for Medical and Biological Imaging at TwinMic—Elettra

Progress in nanotechnology calls for material probing techniques of high sensitivity and resolution. Such techniques are also used for high-impact studies of nanoscale materials in medicine and biology. Soft X-ray microscopy has been successfully used for investigating complex biological processes o...
