We are developing a dynamic adaptive exposure technique using our scanning beam digital X-ray system. Rather than exposing an object uniformly, the exposure is adapted depending on the opacity of the object. Here we show an experiment on an anthropomorphic phantom that resulted in a dose saving of 30%.

A correlative light electron microscopy (CLEM) method is applied to image virus-induced intracellular structures via electron microscopy (EM) in cells that are previously selected by light microscopy (LM). LM and EM are combined as a hybrid imaging approach to achieve an integrated view of virus-host interactions.
FAQs
Electron dose tracking combines the dose rate measured during imaging with the elapsed exposure time to estimate the cumulative dose delivered to a defined specimen area. Recording this relationship across successive frames shows how exposure accumulates rather than treating an image as an isolated event. That time-resolved record supports deliberate acquisition decisions when preserving biological structure is important.
Because exposure is assigned to a defined sample area, dose values can be interpreted in relation to the region actually being imaged. This prevents a cumulative value from becoming disconnected from the specimen location and makes measurements more comparable across image frames or datasets. In biological microscopy, that connection helps researchers judge whether structural observations were made under similar exposure conditions.
The recorded exposure history helps researchers relate the amount of electron irradiation to the quality and usefulness of the resulting images. This supports low-dose imaging, in which exposure is managed rather than increased without a clear purpose. For sensitive biological specimens, the approach helps limit structural changes while retaining information needed to examine ultrastructural or molecular detail.
A basic workflow records the dose rate as imaging proceeds, associates the measurements with a defined sample area, and calculates cumulative exposure across the acquired frames. Researchers can then retain the exposure record alongside the image data. This creates an experimental history that supports consistent handling of specimens and more informed interpretation of images collected at different stages.
Exposure history provides a shared reference for comparing datasets that may contain different image sequences or acquisition periods. By relating observations to dose rate, cumulative exposure, sample area, and frame sequence, researchers can distinguish differences associated with imaging conditions from differences in the biological material. This improves experimental consistency and makes downstream comparisons more informed.
The approach is especially relevant when imaging cells, tissues, macromolecules, and other specimens whose structure may change during electron exposure. Tracking supports dose-fractionated acquisition and low-dose strategies for these sensitive samples. By documenting the exposure associated with the collected data, researchers can better preserve ultrastructural and molecular detail for subsequent biological analysis.
