Abstract

The preparation and a novel sample environment for X-ray based imaging of freeze-dried Dictyostelium discoideum cells are presented. As a first application a fluorescence imaging experiment with a nanofocused hard X-ray beam has been performed. The successful preparation was verified in elemental mappings with sub-200nm resolution, which allowed for the isolation of several ionic components specific to the cell body.
