X-ray nanovision
Article Abstract:
An X-ray microscope employs a technique of X-ray diffraction imaging used to create a lens-less image of the clear articulation of the deformation of an atomic crystal lattice (strain field) in a lead nanoparticle with 40-nm spatial resolution. The results demonstrate the power of X-ray microscopy to create three-dimensional images at the nanoscale, and indicate developments towards the ultimate X-ray microscope with atomic-scale resolution.

Structural insights into yeast septin organization from polarized fluorescence microscopy
Article Abstract:
Polarized fluorescence microscopy of orientationally constrained green fluorescent protein was used to determine septin filament organization and dynamics in living yeast. Results help to resolve a long-standing controversy in the field and present strong evidence that septins have a mechanical function in cell division.

Soft X-ray microscopy at a spatial resolution better than 15 nm
Article Abstract:
The achievement of sub-15-nm spatial resolution with a soft X-ray microscope and a clear path below 10 nm using an overlay technique for zone plate fabrication is reported. The X-ray microscopy technique is suitable for wide range studies.
