X-ray ptychographic and fluorescence microscopy of frozen-hydrated cells using continuous scanning

Abstract X-ray microscopy can be used to image whole, unsectioned cells in their native hydrated state. It complements the higher resolution of electron microscopy for submicrometer thick specimens, and the molecule-specific imaging capabilites of fluorescence light microscopy. We describe here the...
