Hard X-ray Imaging of Biological Soft Tissues symposium

The Francis Crick Institute is hosting the 2nd edition of ‘Hard X-ray Imaging of Biological Soft Tissues symposium’ on Thursday 14 October 2021, 12:00-18:35 BST.

This is a half day virtual meeting organised by Carles Bosch, Lucy Collinson, Elizabeth Duke, and Andreas Schaefer. Leading scientists in the field will highlight the questions currently being addressed using hard X-ray imaging techniques, volume electron microscopy and their combination with other imaging modalities, with a forward look to areas of opportunity becoming accessible as a result of the recent and upcoming synchrotron upgrades.

The program includes:

• Correlative multimodal imaging approaches using hard X-rays
• Limits of X-rays when imaging soft tissues
• X-ray modalities giving 20nm-10um detail across 10um-cm 3D landscapes
• Sample prep and large-scale volume EM
• Round table to explore what are the bottlenecks

Confirmed speakers:

• Darren Batey, Diamond Light Source
• Anne Bonnin, PSI TOMCAT
• Carles Bosch, Francis Crick Institute
• Si Chen, Argonne National Laboratory
• Ana Diaz, PSI cSAXS
• Kara Fulton, CAESAR
• Moritz Helmstaedter, MPI Brain
• David Kastner, UCSF
