NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH. SECTION A, ACCELERATORS, SPECTROMETERS, DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT
Abstract
We present here two reproductive medicine studies at the TwinMic soft spectromicroscopy beamline of Elettra Synchrotron (Trieste, Italy), which can open new opportunities for more direct clinical applications. In particular we demonstrate the TwinMic imaging capabilities for monitoring ovarian tissue preservation and follicles quality and to investigate of chemical changes in sperm undergoing oxidative stress conditions and iron toxicity.
