NRStitcher: non-rigid stitching of terapixel-scale volumetric images

Anne Bonnin, Marco Stampanoni

A Summary: In modern microscopy, the field of view is often increased by obtaining an image mosaic, where multiple sub-images are taken side-by-side and combined post-acquisition. Mosaic imaging often leads to long imaging times that can increase the proba ...

Diffractive small angle X-ray scattering imaging for anisotropic structures

Marco Stampanoni, Goran Lovric

Insights into the micro- and nano-architecture of materials is crucial for understanding and predicting their macroscopic behaviour. In particular, for emerging applications such as meta-materials, the micrometer scale becomes highly relevant. The micro-ar ...

Propagation-based phase-contrast synchrotron imaging of aortic dissection in mice: from individual elastic lamella to 3D analysis

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Patrick Segers, Bram Trachet, Lydia Aslanidou, Marco Stampanoni

In order to show the advantage and potential of propagation-based phase-contrast synchrotron imaging in vascular pathology research, we analyzed aortic medial ruptures in BAPN/AngII-infused mice, a mouse model for aortic dissection. Ascending and thoraco-a ...

Tomographic in vivo microscopy for the study of lung physiology at the alveolar level

Marco Stampanoni, Goran Lovric

Lungs represent the essential part of the mammalian respiratory system, which is reflected in the fact that lung failure still is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Establishing the connection between macroscopic observations o ...

Effective segmentation of fresh post-mortem murine lung parenchyma in phase contrast X-ray tomographic microscopy images

Marco Stampanoni, Goran Lovric

The acinus represents the functional unit of the mammalian lung. It is defined as the small tree of gas-exchanging airways, which is fed by the most distal purely conducting airway. Different hypotheses exist on how the fine structure of the acinus changes ...

Imaging samples larger than the field of view: the SLS experience

Alessandra Patera, Marco Stampanoni, Goran Lovric

Volumetric datasets with micrometer spatial and sub-second temporal resolutions are nowadays routinely acquired using synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM). Although SRXTM technology allows the examination of multiple samples with short scan tim ...

Automated computer-assisted quantitative analysis of intact murine lungs at the alveolar scale

Marco Stampanoni, Goran Lovric

Using state-of-the-art X-ray tomographic microscopy we can image lung tissue in three dimensions in intact animals down to a micrometer precision. The structural complexity and hierarchical branching scheme of the lung at this level of details, however, re ...

Fast 3D reconstruction method for differential phase contrast X-ray CT

Michaël Unser, Masih Nilchian, Marco Stampanoni, Michael Thompson McCann

We present a fast algorithm for fully 3D regularized X-ray tomography reconstruction for both traditional and differential phase contrast measurements. In many applications, it is critical to reduce the X-ray dose while producing high-quality reconstructio ...

A subcutaneous cellular implant for passive immunization against amyloid-beta reduces brain amyloid and tau pathologies

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Vanessa Laversenne, Aurélien Lathuilière, Marco Stampanoni

Passive immunization against toxic misfolded proteins could offer protection against neurodegenerative disease. LathuiliSre et al. report the development of a retrievable device to encapsulate cells secreting recombinant anti-amyloid-beta antibodies. When ...

Virtual reading of a large ancient handwritten science book

Giorgio Margaritondo, Frédéric Kaplan, Fauzia Albertin, Alessandra Patera, Marco Stampanoni

We present a fundamental development step of a new technique to read and digitize ancient handwritten documents. Chemical analysis by x-ray fluorescence and x-ray tomography enabled us to decipher words and drawings from inside a closed, 200-pages 18 th ce ...

Joint absorption and phase retrieval in grating-based x-ray radiography

Michaël Unser, Emrah Bostan, Masih Nilchian, Mohammad Reza Nilchiyan, Marco Stampanoni

Given the raw absorption and differential phase-contrast images obtained from a grating-based x-ray radiography, we formulate the joint denoising of the absorption image and retrieval of the non-differential phase image as a regularized inverse problem. Th ...
