Spectroscopic approaches to plant and soil sciences have provided important information
for several decades. However, many of these approaches suffered from a number of …

Originally developed for time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), energy-
dispersive absorption spectroscopy offers new opportunities for applications such as …

Newly available x-ray nanobeams in synchrotron radiation facilities open new research
avenues in the nanosciences. However, a significant challenge is to efficiently concentrate …

The advent of nanosciences calls for the development of local structural probes, in particular
to characterize ill-ordered or heterogeneous materials. Furthermore, because materials …

The non-destructive investigation of art and archaeological objects with depth sensitivity is
now possible using 3D micro-XRF spectroscopy. More detailed answers for questions on …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) X-ray imaging methods have advanced tremendously
during recent years. Traditional tomography uses absorption as the contrast mechanism, but …

Small-angle x-ray scattering is combined with scanning microtomography to reconstruct the
small-angle diffraction pattern in the direction of the tomographic rotation axis at each …

The newest development in Micro X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis (micro-XRF) is the
expansion of its capabilities to depth resolution using a confocal setup with X-ray optics …

Cobalt is known to be toxic at high concentration, to induce contact dermatosis, and
occupational radiation skin damage because of its use in nuclear industry. We investigated …

X-ray nanoprobes require coherent illumination to achieve optic-limited resolution, and so
will benefit directly from diffraction-limited storage rings. Here, the example of high …
