Thank you so much @wellcometrust.bsky.social for supporting us to push the the limits of #X-ray #nanoimaging and #connectomics, and to make technology more broadly available to the scientific community! 🙏
ESRF scientist Alexandra Pacureanu is the recipient of the Wellcome Discovery Award, together with a team at the Francis Crick Institute, to develop X-ray nanoimaging technology to study the mechanisms of information processing in the neural circuits of olfaction.

Big congrats @yuxinzhang.bsky.social @carlesbosch.bsky.social @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social for completing this adventurous journey 🙌🏅! Three replicas of aligned 3D functional (2P) and structural (X-ray nanotomography) data to peer inside olfactory neural circuits 🐭🧀.
My PhD project is out as a preprint!
We combined 2P and synchrotron X-ray to understand mouse olfactory bulb circuits, linking physiology to structure in 3 animals!

Linking function and structure at scale with X-rays - and several times over. Massive congratulations to the team @yuxinzhang.bsky.social, @carlesbosch.bsky.social, @apacureanu.bsky.social @esrf.fr, @crick.ac.uk and all our collaborators.

A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world.

X-ray nanotomography can be your new friend for neuronal imaging. In our new #preprint (tinyurl.com/nanoXneuro) we present advances that push the spatial resolution limit for X-ray holographic nanotomography (XNH). We can now resolve synapses. 🧵
