Samples

Typical samples used at BioXAS-Imaging are plant or animal tissues, or pieces of rock. On-site capabilities for thin-sectioning samples are available and can be arranged by talking to beamline staff.

Samples are mounted onto holders/frames at a designated area at the BioXAS Imaging beamline.
