Microscopy: Nanotomography comes of age
David Attwood1
Abstract
The use of X-rays to construct three-dimensional tomographic images is well established in medicine. The same principle is being extended to the nanoscale, bringing us startlingly accurate pictures of tiny objects.
Writing in Applied Physics Letters, Yin and colleagues1 report an X-ray microscopy technique of broad potential for three-dimensional imaging in the physical and life sciences. By tuning high-energy X-rays, the authors manipulate the contributions of specific chemical elements to a series of two-dimensional images.
