Towards laser driven table-top coherent diffractive X-ray microscopy of cultured hippocampal neurons
Towards laser driven table-top coherent diffractive X-ray microscopy of cultured hippocampal neurons
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease have a huge impact on the world population; over 44 million people worldwide and 850,000 in the UK were recorded as living with dementia in 2013. There are numerous theories attempting to explain the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Histology from the brains of people who had Alzheimer’s disease shows neurofibilliary tangles and amyloid plaques. Their role in the mechanism of disease is not yet completely understood but we envisage that novel imaging techniques may aid understanding. We present initial data collected using confocal fluorescence microscopy and hard X-ray scanning diffractive microscopy (ptychography) on cultured neuron samples plus high resolution large field of view imaging of test samples from a soft X-ray lab based high harmonic generation (HHG) source.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease have a huge impact on the world population; over 44 million people worldwide and 850,000 in the UK were recorded as living with dementia in 2013. There are numerous theories attempting to explain the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Histology from the brains of people who had Alzheimer’s disease shows neurofibilliary tangles and amyloid plaques. Their role in the mechanism of disease is not yet completely understood but we envisage that novel imaging techniques may aid understanding. We present initial data collected using confocal fluorescence microscopy and hard X-ray scanning diffractive microscopy (ptychography) on cultured neuron samples plus high resolution large field of view imaging of test samples from a soft X-ray lab based high harmonic generation (HHG) source.
