TL;DR: An overview of the workshop on X-ray fluorescence microscopy is presented and use of XFM in biomedical sciences is growing and may be advanced even further by adding high resolution microprobes and high throughput approaches to the XFM toolbox.

TL;DR: Microprobe X-ray absorption near edge structure measurements were used to determine directly, for the first time, the oxidation state of intracellular plutonium in individual 0.1-μm(2) areas within single rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12).

TL;DR: The opportunities and limitations of making use of additional information provided by ptychography to improve x-ray fluorescence images in two ways are discussed: by using position-error-correction algorithms to correct for scan distortions in fluorescence scans, and by considering the signal-to-noise limits on previously-demonstrated ptyChographic probe deconvolution methods.

TL;DR: Researchers can now utilize polymer science approaches to engineer the molecular architecture of lignocellulosic biomass to optimize properties for specific end uses, which contradicts previous assertions that intra-cell-wall diffusion is an aqueous process occurring through water pathways.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors implemented on-the-fly data collection (flyscan) at Beamline 2-ID-D at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, eliminating a 300ms per-pixel overhead time.
