Non-Destructive Characterization of Electrospun Fibers with 3D High-Resolution X-ray Microscopy

Imaging of biomaterials composed of low-Z elements can be challenging with typical X-ray absorption-contrast imaging, in which the pixel grey level and electronic density of the chemical elements in the sample are directly related. The ZEISS Xradia 810 Ultra with Zernike phase-contrast technology presents a new solution for imaging these types of specimens.

In this webinar, Dr. Juliana Martins, leader of the X-ray imaging group within the Chair of Microstructured Material Design at Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, will discuss the benefits and applications of three-dimensional high-resolution Zernike phase-contrast X-ray imaging for qualitative morphological characterization of biomaterials, with a focus on electrospun fibers. Dr. Martins will be available to answer questions following her talk in a moderated Q&A.

• Understand the benefits of phase-contrast imaging for characterization of biomaterials
• Review examples of images obtained for morphological characterization
• Learn how to acquire quantitative information by data analysis
• Learn more about the technology behind the imaging characteristics of the Xradia 810 Ultra
