Dr Louise Fisher (CSIRO)25/11/2016, 11:00ImagingOralStudies of ore systems require microanalysis of samples to gather information on mineral chemistry. Information from in-situ microcharacterisation studies can be used both to recognise mineral zonations and chemical relationships among mineral phases that provide a record of hydrothermal activity, fluid chemistry and fluid-rock reactions. Such information is vital in constraining the...Go to contribution page

Prof. Zhonghua Sun (Curtin University)25/11/2016, 11:30ImagingOralThis study was conducted on a human aorta phantom with a commercially available stent graft placed in the aorta with the aim of investigating visualization of aortic stent graft by synchrotron radiation. Synchrotron tomography experiments were performed on imaging and medical beamline at the Australian Synchrotron facility, with beam energy ranging from 40 to 100 keV, with spatial resolution...Go to contribution page

Dr Erin McGillick (The Ritchie Centre, Hudson Institute for Medical Research, Melbourne, Australia & The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia)25/11/2016, 11:45ImagingOralBefore birth the fetal lungs are filled with liquid, which must be cleared at birth to allow entry of air and onset of gas exchange. The rate of preterm birth and non-labour caesarean delivery has substantially increased, which delays lung liquid clearance and increases the risk of neonatal respiratory complications. Retention of liquid in airways and/or lung tissue is thought to underpin the...Go to contribution page

Dr Peter Kopittke (The University of Queensland)25/11/2016, 12:00ImagingOralAcid soils comprise ca. 4 billion ha of the global ice-free land or ca. 40 % of the world’s arable land. In these acid soils, the elevated solubility of Al-containing minerals results in increased concentrations of Al in the soil solution. Soluble Al is highly toxic to root growth, reducing elongation of roots in as little as 5 min due to an inhibition of wall loosening as required for cell...Go to contribution page

Dr Anton Maksimenko (Australian Synchrotron)25/11/2016, 12:15ImagingOralThe Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL) of the Australian Synchrotron is recognised as one of the most advanced facility for the Computed Tomography (CT) experiment. It was designed for the macro-imaging, just touching the microscopy ranges in the highest magnification configuration. This design assumes that the beamline must be capable of imaging large objects up to 50cm wide. The...Go to contribution page
