Our aim is to develop a new simple and inexpensive method for full field X-ray fluorescence imaging. We combine an energy-dispersive array detector with a coded aperture. To obtain the information from the recorded image, a reconstruction step is necessary. First tests were carried out at the BAMline at BESSY II. This method enables the simultaneous detection of multiple elements, which is important e.g. in the field of catalysis.
We developed a new method for full field X-ray fluorescence imaging at the BAMline @ BESSY II. We combined an energy dispersive array detector for X-rays with a coded aperture to get high resolution images.
In coded aperture imaging, an object is projected through a mask, producing many overlapping images on the detector. To get the information about the investigated object out of the projected image, a decoding step is necessary.
The first part of our project was to develop the decoding algorithms. We tested the reported reconstruction with an antimask and compared the results with the performance of self-written reconstruction programs based on an iterative and a genetic algorithm. First tests were performed with raytracing simulations.
The next step was the collection of experimental data at the BAMline @ BESSY II (HZB). A test objects could be successfully reconstructed with our newly developed algorithm.
Phased-Array-Technik und Bildgebung mit Ultraschallwellen sind nach langer Entwicklungszeit inzwischen auf dem Weg zu allgemeiner Verbreitung. Daher bietet sich an, die verschiedenen Techniken und deren Begriffe wie z.B. Phased-Array, SAFT, TFM, FMC und Sparse-Array zusammenfassend in Beziehung zu setzen.
All diesen Techniken liegt dieselbe Idee zu Grunde, nämlich durch gezielte Überlagerung von Ultraschallsignalen den gewünschten Effekt zu erreichen. Die verschiedenen Techniken werden kurz charakterisiert und neben den Unterschieden wird beschreiben, auf welche Weise bei all diesen Techniken das Phänomen der konstruktiven Interferenz jeweils genutzt wird.

In recent years, elemental imaging of biological samples like tissue thin sections using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is gaining more and more importance. Improvements concerning spatial resolution as well as signal-to-background ratio due to low-dispersion sample chambers make LA-ICP-MS also interesting for single cell analysis.
To evaluate the interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with cells LA-ICP-MS was applied for the imaging of individual cells. Our findings show, that NP aggregates can be localized within cellular compartments. The uptake efficiency depends strongly on the physico-chemical properties of the nanostructures (size, chemical composition, surface modification), as well as on the incubation conditions (concentration, time).
Moreover, LA-ICP-MS is increasingly becoming an important complementary technique in bioanalysis by using element-tagging strategies to determine biomolecules indirectly. Based on the specific binding between antibodies and their corresponding antigens, proteins and peptides can be detected in tissue or cells using tagged antibodies. As artificial tags metal chelates loaded with lanthanides, polymer-based elemental tags or metal-containing nanoparticles can be used. Thereby LA-ICP-MS is a sensitive detection tool for multiplexed immuno-histochemistry of tissue and cell samples.
Our results demonstrate the potential of LA-ICP-MS to investigate the distribution of naturally occurring elements, administered agents as well as biomolecules by using metal-tagged antibodies.

Luminescent nanocrystals like core/shell semiconductor quantum dots and lanthanide doped nanophosphors as well as gold nanoclusters with emission in the visible (vis) and particularly in the near infrared (NIR) and short wavelength infrared (SWIR) region have been increasingly used as reporters in the life sciences and for bioimaging studies in the last years. This has led to sophisticated core-shell particle architectures of different chemical composition utilizing semiconductor quantum dots and lanthanide-based nanocrystals and initiated the design of gold nanoclusters with different ligands. In addition, this led to an increasing number of quantitative spectroscopic studies focusing on the key performance parameter photoluminescence quantum yield to identify optimum particle structures. In the following, an overview of different classes of nanocrystalline emitters and their photophysics is provided and examples for the absolute characterization of the photoluminescence properties of these different vis/NIR/SWIR emitters are shown including excitation power density-dependent studies on the ensemble and single particle level. Also, the impact of such measurements on a profound mechanistic understanding of the underlying nonradiative deactivation pathways is highlighted as required for reporter design.
Most industrial nanoparticles have non-spherical shapes and also possess polydisperse size distributions, and due to their agglomeration/ aggregation state are difficult (or even impossible) to be addressed individually. Further, driven by regulatory purposes related to the identification of a material as a nanomaterial, the accurate measurement of the smallest dimension of a (nano)particulate material makes the analysis even more complex.
In the first phase of the EU Project nPSize - Improved traceability chain of nanoparticle size measurements (https://www.bam.de/Content/DE/Projekte/laufend/nPSize/npsize.html), the efforts are focused on synthesis of nanoparticles of well-defined, non-spherical shape. Following candidates of reference materials (CRM) with certifiable particle size (distribution) are under characterization with respect to their homogeneity and stability: (i) titania nanoplatelets (10-15 nm thickness x 50-60 nm lateral), (ii) titania bipyramides (~60 nm length x 40 nm width), (iii) titania acicular particles (100 nm length x 15-20 nm width; aspect ratio 5.5/6), (iv) gold nanorods (~10 nm width x 30 nm length), and (v) gold nanocubes (~55 nm x 55 nm x 55 nm).
