ESRF and DUBBLE: Synchrotron X-rays for revealing the structure and function of molecules and materials Hasselt University
Commissioning and sustainable exploitation of the upgraded DUBBLE beamlines at the ESRF: studying the structure and function of matter at the world's most powerful synchrotron KU Leuven
Synchrotron X-rays are produced when charged particles circulate in a storage ring close to the speed of light and are much more intense compared to the X-rays used for example in hospitals. By studying the interaction of a synchrotron X-ray beam with living or non-living matter, the matter structure and structural changes are revealed down to atomic lengths scales and at submillisecond time intervals. This project finances research at ...

Analysis tools for biomedical and environmental applications: development and application of a multi-modal synchrotron based chemical imaging platform Ghent University
The goal of this research project is the development of novel analytical methods for nano-analysis of biomedical and environmental samples using synchrotron radiation (SR) based X-ray imaging methodologies. The envisaged applications comprise optimization of peritoneal carcinomatosis treatment (Prof dr W. Ceelen) and assessing the influence of deep-sea mining on the marine eco-system (Prof dr A. Van Reusel). X-ray based methodologies such as ...
Development of laboratory and synchrotron based XRF-CT techniques for non-destructive 3D microanalysis in Earth and Planetary science Ghent University
In many scientific fields there is a need to three-dimensionally analyse unique and precious samples in a non-destructive way. X-ray based 3D analysis techniques are well-suited to resolve this challenge.
The development of the HERAKLES 3D X-ray scanner at Ghent University created a unique scientific instrument incorporating three complementary methodologies being microscopic X-ray computed tomography (U+03BCCT), X-ray fluorescence ...
