Image for X-ray microscopy

X-ray microscopy

X-ray microscopy is a technique that uses focused X-ray beams to create detailed images of the internal structures of objects at a microscopic scale. Unlike traditional microscopes that use visible light, X-ray microscopes can penetrate materials, revealing features inside biological samples, materials, or devices with high resolution. This method allows scientists to investigate the internal composition and architecture without destroying the sample, making it valuable in fields like biology, materials science, and medicine for detailed, non-invasive imaging at the micro- and nanoscale.
