Instruct-ERIC workshop on imaging cells using correlative soft X-ray tomography at cryogenic temperatures
Soft X-ray tomography (SXT) is fast becoming an established and necessary imaging technology for the life sciences catering for the capture of high-resolution (25nm) ultrastructural information in fully hydrated cell populations under native conditions. The method can be used for same-sample correlative imaging alongside technique such as fluorescence imaging/cryo-imaging, X-ray scanning microscopy and cryo-electron tomography.
This workshop is intended for graduate students and early-career researchers interested in gaining a deeper understanding and hands-on experience imaging cells in 3D using Soft X-ray Tomography at cryogenic temperatures (cryoSXT). The workshop will consist of a mixture of lectures and practicals that will demonstrate all aspects of the imaging pipeline at our beamline B24 from sample preparation to data acquisition and analysis.
