Join us *next Monday*! #CrickXrays25 X-ray #nanoimaging of biological tissues 🇬🇧🌐 @crick.ac.uk & online tinyurl.com/crickxrays25 Sponsored by @dectris.bsky.social, @webknossos.org and @biologists.bsky.social and backed by @brukercorporation.bsky.social and Histomography

#Nanoimaging symposium @crick.ac.uk! At #CrickXrays25 we'll tackle: 💫synchrotron upgrades 📈current limits in throughput, volume, resolution 🧪sample preparation for X-ray PC imaging 🧠♥️applications in neuroscience and tissue life science 🗓️13th October 2025 🇬🇧🌐 London & online tinyurl.com/crickxrays25

#preprint: We optimised the preparation of tissues for #X-ray phase contrast imaging. Drying tissue samples (instead of embedding them) brings more signal in #X-ray phase contrast images. The process largely preserves #ultrastructure. @safekhan.bsky.social @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social

Wouldn't it be great if we could not only image large connectomic volumes but also completely reconstruct them? And if a whole mouse brain project didn't cost billions? With the PATHFINDER preprint (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...), we preview a future where it doesn't have to.

#preprint: We mapped the structure and function of olfactory bulb circuits with in vivo 2-photon microscopy and synchrotron #Xray holographic nanotomography. doi.org/10.1101/2025... @yuxinzhang.bsky.social @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social @apacureanu.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk @esrf.fr

Folks! We need your help to establish this platform long term for everyone! Can you help us out spread this video?
