The transition to newborn life after birth represents one of life’s greatest of challenges, yet for most of us we pass through this phase of our lives with only a brief cry that is greeted with much relief and joy by our expectant parents. Nevertheless, even in developed countries like Australia, we are much more likely to die on the day we are born than on any other day of our lives, until we...
The Imaging and Medical beamline provide facilities for imaging, including phase contrast and in vivo movies, computed tomography (CT), including physio-triggered CT, radiotherapy, and with
- samples from 1mm3 to 1m3 and weight up to 100kg
- beam width up to 50cm
- energies from 20keV to 120keV (monochromatic) and 350keV (pink)
It is a unique research tool applicable to many fields, from...
In the search for new and improved medical inhaler devices for the treatment of asthma and other pulmonary diseases, pharmaceutical device makers must understand how small changes in drug properties and the design of the delivery device can affect the properties of the micron-size droplets these devices produce. The scientific challenge underlying this effort is that dense liquid sprays...
The Micro-Computed Tomography (MCT) beamline is one of the first two beamlines to be constructed at the Australian Synchrotron as part of the BR–GHT program. This new beamline will be operational for user experiments by mid-2021. A report on the current status of the MCT project will be provided. MCT will complement the existing X-ray tomography capability provided by the Imaging & Medical...
