The long journey of correlative microscopy (CM) began in 1945 when Keith Porter conducted pioneering studies demonstrating that specific details within specimens could be observed and characterized using both light microscopy (LM) and electron microscopy (EM) with proper sample preparation. Subsequent comparative attempts followed, thanks to contributions from McDonald, Pease, Hayes, and...
The Advanced X-Ray Imaging (AXIm) group at University College London has developed technology that enables x-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) to be performed with conventional x-ray sources. The group is now engaging with industrial collaborators to seek translation of the developed technology.
The most advanced applications, which have reached the pre-commercial prototype stage, are...
The Southern European Thomson Back-Scattering (TBS) source for Applied Research (STAR) is a cutting-edge high-energy photon facility situated on the campus of the University of Calabria (UniCal). Recognized as a national Research Infrastructure within the Italian Research Infrastructure Plan (PNIR) 2021-2027, STAR represents a significant milestone in integrating large-scale scientific...
We present the design of the suite of Gas Puff Imaging (GPI) diagnostic systems on the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV). These systems enable the study of Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) turbulence in the tokamak, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of blobs. For the first time at TCV, we now have the capability to simultaneously collect poloidal 2D images of turbulence at several locations:...
