Three-Dimensional Imaging of Biological Tissue by Cryo X-Ray Ptychography
Abstract High-throughput three-dimensional cryogenic imaging of thick biological specimens is valuable for identifying biologically- or pathologically-relevant features of interest, especially for subsequent correlative studies. Unfortunately, high-resolution imaging techniques at cryogenic conditio...
