New research network between TU Dortmund University and Boston University
- News

On October 11th, a kick-off meeting for a new research collaboration between the Faculty of Physics at TU Dortmund and Boston University (BU) took place in Boston. The plan is to initiate an exchange between the two universities on several levels. The focus will initially be on the life sciences and medical physics. The meeting was sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

![3D visualisation of human neuronal tissue reconstructed by multi-scale X-ray phase contrast tomography. Neuronal cell nuclei are shown in yellow for the granule neurons in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus. Blood vessels are shown in red. By changing the X-ray optical magnification in the multi-scale recordings, one can zoom into regions-of-interest (red ovals). In these scans the resolution is high enough to resolve sub-structures of the nucleus, associated with different DNA packing regimes.
