            In our study, we show that critical point drying (CPD), a resin-free sample prep method, enhances contrast in X-ray phase-contrast imaging of brain tissue, with largely preserving ultrastructure.β¨

                Critical point drying of brain tissue for X-ray phase contrast imaging
                X-ray phase contrast tomography is emerging as a powerful method for imaging large volumes of brain tissue at sub-cellular resolution. However, current sample preparation methods are largely inherited...
