Research Interests

Soft x-ray microscopy of whole, hydrated cells to 10nm spatial resolution

Research Summary

Our group is pursuing the development of soft x-ray microscopy to high spatial resolution, currently 15nm, for a wide range of applications in the life and physical sciences. Imaging is based on the use of zone plate diffractive lenses in a well engineered microscope (XM-1) at LBNL’s Advanced Light Source synchrotron facility. We are also working with small companies towards a commercial, compact version of the microscope. The group presently has seven graduate students from AS&T, BioE, and EECS.
