Berkeley Lab Researchers Achieve Highest Resolution Ever
with X-ray Microscopy
A record-setting X-ray microscopy experiment may have
ushered in a new era for nanoscale imaging. Working at the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), a
collaboration of researchers used low energy or “soft” X-rays to image
structures only five nanometers in size. This resolution, obtained at Berkeley
Lab’s Advanced Light Source (ALS), a DOE Office of Science User Facility, is
the highest ever achieved with X-ray microscopy
