Combining X-ray techniques brings insights
Cracking the code for crop nutrition and food quality with X-ray fluorescence microscopy.
Powder diffraction and X-ray fluorescence microscopy support investigation of pigments in rock art.
A collaboration of Australian scientists has used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron to measure the amount of carbon that is captured in microscopic seams of deep-sea limestone, which acts as a carbon sink.
Role at ANSTO
The X-ray fluorescence microspectroscopy beamline offers a range of x-ray absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques at submicron length-scales. The beamline has two microscopes optimised for complementary studies.
An article in Nature Geosciences has highlighted the power of synchrotron techniques to reveal the inner workings of volcanic systems that could potentially help with predictions of eruptions.
Advanced imaging reveals unusual, unseen patterns in seabird feathers.
A new study by researchers from Curtin University using the infrared (IR) and X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron has provided a better understanding of the chemical and elemental composition of latent fingermarks.
Enhancing safety of trailer trucks among research projects
The Macromolecular Crystallography beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron (MX1 and MX2) are general purpose crystallography instruments for determining chemical and biological structures.
