BioXAS Imaging Macro and Micro resolution modes have entered the General User phase and accepting proposals.

Our first BioXAS-Imaging user at the beamline collected data in micro-mode to investigate phytoremediation potential of plants grown at mining impacted site.

XRF images representing Ca, Zn, Hg and S distribution in zebrafish. Data were collected as fly scan in micro-mode at 5 μm resolution.

Copper uptake in brown algae was studied using fly scan XRF imaging in Macro-mode at 100 μm resolution and 50 ms.

Although dry leaves could depict an end, but for us, this image meant a beginning, a start to contribute to science and knowledge.
