On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A new field of 3D X-ray Microscopy (XRM) has emerged bringing dramatic resolution and contrast improvements to X-ray tomographic imaging of biological specimens for correlative studies and hierarchical structure investigations of hard and soft tissue. An X-ray microscope uses an X-ray source rather than a visible light source to view the internal structure of opaque specimens. Analogous to computed tomography (CT) a specimen can be imaged without physical sectioning and a complete 3D view of the object is generated. Yet X-ray microscopes provide superior spatial resolution down to the nanoscale and tunable phase contrast to image nature’s vast diversity from cells to entire organisms ex vivo up to tens of centimetres in size.
