Synchrotron X-ray leaf venation imaging (Plantae)

Local Knowledge Graph (13 entities)

Description

High-resolution X-ray imaging of leaf venation networks using synchrotron light sources with both absorption and phase contrast approaches. Samples are mounted on translation stages and imaged with monochromatic X-rays at various energies and detector distances.

Typical Equipment

• aluminum platform
• modeling clay
• robotic arm
• translation stage
• lutetium aluminum garnet (LuAG) scintillation crystal
• 4× microscope objective
• 2048 × 2048 pixel 12-bit CCD array
• bending magnet
• double-bounce multi-layer monochromator

Output Measurements

• venation network structure
• vein connectivity
• spatial resolution images
