DESCRIPTION:Prof. Yeukuang HWU\, Institute of Physics\, Academia Sinica\, 
 Taiwan\nBenefitted from the fast developments in nanotechnology\, X-ray im
 aging has made great progress in the past few years. The spatial resolutio
 n and contrast notably increased by use of Fresnel based focusing optics a
 nd the refractive-index imaging\, opening up entirely new domains of appli
 cation\, specifically in biomedical research. This evolution is the result
  of a painstaking optimization of many different aspects rather than of a 
 single technical breakthrough. Successful application in neuron imaging an
 d microvascular profiling will be discussed as examples of the recent achi
 evements in optics and in staining techniques that enable full field hard-
 x-ray microscopy to produce images of quality comparable to electron and v
 isible microscopies.
