Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM)

Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) is an advanced imaging technique that uses focused X-ray beams to examine tiny samples at the microscopic level. By scanning the X-ray beam across the sample and measuring how much is absorbed or transmitted, STXM creates detailed images that reveal the sample's structure and composition with nanometer resolution. It allows scientists to study materials, biological tissues, or chemical distributions in a non-destructive way, providing insights into their molecular makeup and internal features with high precision.
