Hard X-ray imaging of biological soft tissues symposium 2025

X-ray imaging can resolve ultrastructure in soft tissues non-destructively. As more synchrotrons worldwide gather the gains in flux and coherence that come with the upgrades to 4th generation light sources, the challenge of mapping soft tissues across scales - from intercellular contacts to complete organs, and across replicates - comes within reach.

We will explore the current limitations in throughput, volume, and resolution, and examine the latest advancements in sample preparation that best meets the demands of X-ray imaging. Throughout, we will keep in sight projects that integrate these advances to resolve outstanding questions in the fields of neuroscience and, more broadly, tissue life science. We expect an exciting day filled with science-focused talks and lively discussions on how the field will develop over the next few years. Join us in London, or online!
