X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

3.9K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are  scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The  X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Three-Dimensional Microscopy in Microbiology

224
Three-dimensional imaging techniques are essential in cell biology, allowing researchers to visualize intricate cellular structures with high resolution. Two prominent methods, Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy (DIC) and Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy (CSLM), provide distinct advantages for imaging live and thick specimens, respectively.Differential Interference Contrast MicroscopyDIC microscopy enhances contrast in transparent, unstained samples by converting phase...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.5K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Crystallography
  • Microscopy

Background:

  • Three-dimensional X-ray diffraction microscopy (3DXRD) is established for bulk polycrystal analysis.
  • Current 3DXRD methods have limited spatial resolution (∼1.5-3 µm).
  • Analyzing submicrometre crystallites in deformed metals requires higher resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a high-resolution 3DXRD (HR-3DXRD) modality.
  • To enable 3D mapping of submicrometre-sized crystallites or subgrains.
  • To visualize metal microstructures at industrially relevant plastic deformation levels.

Main Methods:

  • Developed HR-3DXRD by positioning a high-resolution detector between near-field and far-field regimes.
  • Utilized intrinsic crystallographic properties for high-resolution imaging.
  • Determined subgrain center of mass and volume for 3D mapping via tessellation.

Main Results:

  • HR-3DXRD achieves submicrometre spatial and high angular resolution.
  • Simulations demonstrated HR-3DXRD on realistic phantoms.
  • Accurate retrieval of 772 out of 828 subgrains in deformed α-Fe (0.1 µm spatial, 0.0005° orientation accuracy).

Conclusions:

  • HR-3DXRD significantly enhances 3D mapping capabilities for submicrometre microstructures.
  • The technique is suitable for analyzing highly deformed metals.
  • HR-3DXRD offers a powerful tool for materials characterization at the submicrometre scale.
