Enhancing the efficiency of a wavelength-dispersive spectrometer based upon a slitless design using a single-bounce monocapillary
A slit-less wavelength-dispersive spectrometer design using a single-bounce monocapillary that aligns the sample on the Rowland circle, enhancing photon throughput and maintaining resolution. The compact design supports flexibility and reconfiguration in facilities without complex beamline infrastructure, significantly improving detection efficiency.

High-resolution imaging of organic and inorganic nanoparticles at nanometre-scale resolution by X-ray ensemble diffraction microscopy
X-ray ensemble diffraction microscopy (XEDM) is an approach to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio in high-frequency regions of scattering. This article presents direct imaging of 55 nm core–shell silica–gold nanoparticles at a 6.8 nm resolution and 19 nm nodavirus-like-particles in solution at a 2.6 nm resolution to demonstrate the high spatial resolution that is difficult to achieve by conventional coherent diffraction microscopy.

Development and testing of a dual-frequency real-time hardware feedback system for the hard X-ray nanoprobe beamline of the SSRF
We introduce a novel approach for a real-time dual-frequency feedback system which has been firstly used at the hard X-ray nanoprobe beamline of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. It can efficiently stabilize the X-ray beam position and stability in parallel, making use of different optical systems in the beamline.

The use of ethanol as contrast enhancer in synchrotron X-ray phase-contrast imaging leads to heterogeneous myocardial tissue shrinkage: a case report
In this work, we show that the use of ethanol to increase image contrast when imaging cardiac tissue with synchrotron X-ray phase-contrast imaging leads to heterogeneous tissue shrinkage, which has an impact on the 3D organization of the myocardium.
