Correlative and in situ Imaging for Nanoscale Materials

Session 3B

Behzad Rad, Rohan Dhall

Imaging heterogenous, weakly scattering materials, such as biomaterials and inorganic systems containing light elements is an inherently challenging task. Doing so when the structure of interest is present in a liquid medium further complicates matters, and has necessitated the development of several imaging techniques using optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray scattering. This symposium will discuss recent advances in the field of in-situ microscopy of low contrast specimens in their native liquid environments, which enable nanoscale design strategies for new materials. These talks will highlight cross-disciplinary research taking place at the Molecular Foundry and beyond to showcase cutting edge correlative imaging capabilities and foster collaboration and new directions.
