synchrotron imaging

Synchrotron imaging uses powerful, specialized X-ray beams produced by a synchrotron, a device that accelerates electrons to nearly the speed of light. When these high-energy electrons bend around magnets inside the synchrotron, they emit intense X-rays that can pass through objects. These X-rays are used to create detailed images of the internal structures of complex materials, biological tissues, or archaeological specimens. This technique offers extremely high resolution and contrast, enabling scientists to see fine details and understand the composition and structure of samples that are difficult to examine with conventional imaging methods.
