High brightness, short pulse width (<200 picoseconds) x-ray lasers now offer biologists the possibility of high-resolution imaging of specimens in an aqueous environment without the blurring effects associated with natural motion or chemical erosion. As a step toward developing the capabilities of this type of x-ray microscopy, a tantalum x-ray laser at a 44.83-angstrom wavelength was used together with an x-ray zone plate optic to image both unlabeled and selectively gold-labeled dried rat sperm nuclei. In the image, 500-angstrom features are clearly visible. This illustrates the importance of x-ray microscopy in determining chemical composition. X-ray microscopy also provides information about the uniformity of sperm chromatin organization and the extent of sperm chromatin hydration. 2, record 1, English, - X%2Dray%20microscopy

La microscopía de rayos X ha emergido como técnica para observar estructuras que no son accesibles con microscopía óptica convencional, y que tiene ventajas respecto a la microscopía electrónica debido a la mayor longitud de penetración y a la sensibilidad química de la radiación X. 2, record 1, Spanish, - microscop%C3%ADa%20de%20rayos%20X
