Simone Sala

Since 2014 Simone has been working with synchrotron-based X-ray microscopy techniques. These are techniques aimed at producing 2D images and 3D representations of samples from a diverse range of research fields – from materials science to biomedical applications – and exploiting different contrast mechanisms – such as electron density and chemical elements' concentration and speciation. These quantitative microscopy techniques are often crucial when investigating samples which are inhomogeneous at the nano- or microscale.
