Simultaneous Reciprocal and Real Space X-Ray Imaging of Time-Evolving Systems

Imaging the (sub)micron scale over large areas with high temporal resolution becomes increasingly necessary for the development and investigation of novel materials under realistic operation conditions. Small angle x-ray scattering imaging methods provide ...

Micrometer-resolution X-ray tomographic full-volume reconstruction of an intact post-mortem juvenile rat lung

Goran Lovric, Marco Stampanoni, Anders Larsson

In this article, we present an X-ray tomographic imaging method that is well suited for pulmonary disease studies in animal models to resolve the full pathway from gas intake to gas exchange. Current state-of-the-art synchrotron-based tomographic phase-con ...

Brain micro-vasculature imaging: An unsupervised deep learning algorithm for segmenting mouse brain volume probed by high-resolution phase-contrast X-ray tomography

Alessandra Patera, Anne Bonnin, Marco Stampanoni

High-throughput synchrotron-based tomographic microscopy at third generation light sources allows to probe cm-sized samples at micrometer-resolution. In this work, we present an approach to image a full mouse brain. With Indian-ink as a contrast agent, it ...

NRStitcher: non-rigid stitching of terapixel-scale volumetric images

Anne Bonnin, Marco Stampanoni

A Summary: In modern microscopy, the field of view is often increased by obtaining an image mosaic, where multiple sub-images are taken side-by-side and combined post-acquisition. Mosaic imaging often leads to long imaging times that can increase the proba ...

Diffractive small angle X-ray scattering imaging for anisotropic structures

Goran Lovric, Marco Stampanoni

Insights into the micro- and nano-architecture of materials is crucial for understanding and predicting their macroscopic behaviour. In particular, for emerging applications such as meta-materials, the micrometer scale becomes highly relevant. The micro-ar ...

Propagation-based phase-contrast synchrotron imaging of aortic dissection in mice: from individual elastic lamella to 3D analysis

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Lydia Aslanidou, Bram Trachet, Marco Stampanoni, Patrick Segers

In order to show the advantage and potential of propagation-based phase-contrast synchrotron imaging in vascular pathology research, we analyzed aortic medial ruptures in BAPN/AngII-infused mice, a mouse model for aortic dissection. Ascending and thoraco-a ...

Tomographic in vivo microscopy for the study of lung physiology at the alveolar level

Goran Lovric, Marco Stampanoni

Lungs represent the essential part of the mammalian respiratory system, which is reflected in the fact that lung failure still is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Establishing the connection between macroscopic observations o ...

Effective segmentation of fresh post-mortem murine lung parenchyma in phase contrast X-ray tomographic microscopy images

Goran Lovric, Marco Stampanoni

The acinus represents the functional unit of the mammalian lung. It is defined as the small tree of gas-exchanging airways, which is fed by the most distal purely conducting airway. Different hypotheses exist on how the fine structure of the acinus changes ...

Imaging samples larger than the field of view: the SLS experience

Goran Lovric, Alessandra Patera, Marco Stampanoni

Volumetric datasets with micrometer spatial and sub-second temporal resolutions are nowadays routinely acquired using synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM). Although SRXTM technology allows the examination of multiple samples with short scan tim ...
