New phase-contrast microscopy developed at PSI enhances X-ray images Imaging techniques are increasingly at the forefront of progress in science and technology. The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is among the leaders in this development. Imaging techniques turn objects visually inside out, allowing ever greater precision - for instance in medical diagnosis. They also contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of certain diseases, like Alzheimer's or osteoporosis. Further applications occur in materials research, where imaging processes are a decisive factor in achieving results that ultimately - as with medical progress - benefit society.
