Benefitted from the fast developments in nanotechnology, X-ray imaging has made great progress in the past few years. The spatial resolution and contrast notably increased by use of Fresnel based focusing optics and the refractive-index imaging, opening up entirely new domains of application, 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 and microvascular profiling will be discussed as examples of the recent achievements in optics and in staining techniques that enable full field hard-x-ray microscopy to produce images of quality comparable to electron and visible microscopies.
