Coherent x-ray imaging of cells with femtosecond x-ray pulses (C10)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2011 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 28586557

The aim of this project is the label-free imaging of cells at high resolution and high throughput. To reach this goal partial-coherent synchrotron radiation and free electron laser (FEL) pulses will be employed. We will develop microfluidic devices, which guarantee a highly controlled sample environment to bring the sample into the x-ray beam. The combination of different contrast methods and adapted data analysis will lead to a wealth of relevant information about the studied systems.
