The lab does X-ray imaging research, using cutting-edge X-rays to make visible a world that could not be seen before.
AboutAbout the lab
Visualizing the unknown with cutting-edge X-rays
The Coherent Light Lab (Nishino Lab) uses coherent X-rays, such as X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) and advanced storage-ring synchrotron radiation, to develop new imaging techniques and pursue applied research.
Using large facilities such as SACLA, SPring-8, and NanoTerasu, the lab aims to contribute to progress in a wide range of fields, from life science and materials science to industrial applications.
Its research includes coherent diffraction imaging, X-ray Fourier ptychography, and atomic-resolution X-ray holography.
Key terms
- Coherent X-rays
- X-rays whose wave crests and troughs are aligned in position. They make it possible to observe samples, such as cells, that let X-rays pass almost straight through.
- X-ray free-electron laser
- A device that produces very intense, laser-like, aligned X-rays from electrons accelerated to nearly the speed of light.
- Synchrotron radiation
- Bright light and X-rays emitted when electrons traveling at nearly the speed of light have their direction bent.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops and applies new imaging techniques using coherent X-rays, such as X-ray free-electron lasers and advanced storage-ring synchrotron radiation. It also incorporates methods from information science, including deep learning.
*Illustrative imageCoherent X-ray diffraction imaging
This is a microscopy method that uses a computer instead of a lens. Because X-rays pass almost straight through objects such as cells, the lab uses coherent X-rays, whose wave crests and troughs are aligned, to observe small structures that cannot be seen with an optical microscope. It may also be possible to see inside thick samples.
*Illustrative imageNew X-ray microscopes through information science and nanofabrication
The lab develops new X-ray microscopes that use cutting-edge X-rays, such as X-ray free-electron lasers and synchrotron radiation, and make full use of methods from information science, including deep learning. It also builds its own sample cells using nanofabrication technology.
