Lensless X-ray microscope fits in the lab
The nanoscale X-ray imaging of biological samples could soon be routine in any lab thanks to a breakthrough by physicists in the US. The team has shown that lensless X-ray microscopes do not necessarily need large accelerator-based X-ray sources. Instead, a technique called high-harmonic generation can be used to make smaller "tabletop" X-ray microscopes based on a compact infrared laser.
