Comparing X-ray ptychography and volume EM imaging

Caption

At the best resolution achieved, dendodendritic synapses were visible (magenta arrowheads – top). The same sample was then imaged using volume EM (FIB-SEM method) to confirm the accuracy in detecting synapses based on X-ray ptychography alone (bottom).
