X-ray imaging system developer Xradia reported that it has received a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant of $1.4 million to develop an ultrahigh-resolution x-ray microscope for 3D imaging of complex biological systems.
The company said it will expand its product line by introducing a new x-ray tomography system designed specifically for biomedical applications. The new product will include capabilities of automated 3D tomographic imaging with single cell or tissue sections at a resolution of 30 nanometers (nm).
Development of the new x-ray microscope is expected to be completed within the next 12 months, Xradia said.
