Abstract
To open the X-ray microscopy to a wider range of applications there is need for a user oriented tool for routine biological investigations, which is located in the laboratories of biologists. The requirements are defined by the specimen to be examined:
-
They are entire cells in culture, nuclei or other organells, wet and thick (0.1 – 10 μm).
-
There should be only short delay between preparation and experiment.
-
The specimen should stay under atmospheric conditions and room temperature during examination.
-
In order to eliminate blurring due to the motion of the cell and due to radiation damage the exposure time should be as short as possible.
