The University of Manchester researchers say their groundbreaking work — using synchrotron - imaging techniques — sheds new light, literally, on the healing process that took place when these magnificent animals were still alive.

But the synchrotron - based imaging, which uses light brighter than 10 billion Suns, meant the team could tease out the chemical ghosts lurking within the preserved dinosaur bones.

Synchrotron X-ray imaging on different species showed that the transmission of the sound from the oral cavity to the inner ear has been optimized by two evolutionary adaptations: a reduced thickness of the tissue between the mouth and the inner ear and a smaller number of tissue layers between the mouth and the inner ear.

Like the map view of an Earth imaging program, this image of a brain section takes cues from actual imaging performed with highest - energy X-rays at a synchrotron and turns them into a graphic depiction.

Sandia's technique achieved X-ray phase contrast imaging in a lab without a synchrotron, an expensive piece of equipment the size of a football field.

Extremely sensitive x-ray imaging performed at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France, allowed the team to count growth lines in the fossil's unerupted adult teeth like tree rings, telling them Alesi was about 485 days (or 1 year and 4 months) old when it died.

There are two catches, however: This type of imaging works only for small samples, and there are a mere 50 or so synchrotron devices in the world.

Using a variety of techniques, including Synchrotron Rapid Scanning X-ray Fluorescence — a chemical imaging method developed at Stanford University that permits the detection of low levels of elements across large surfaces — the team was able to visualize the remains of pigments in several fossil birds, including the 150 - million - year - old Archaeopteryx and the 125 - million - year - old Confuciusornis.

This mirror structure may also find use in other systems, with potential applications that include focusing and imaging optics for synchrotron radiation X-rays and X-ray-free electron lasers.

They performed Micro-beam in - situ stress experiments in the mySpot BESSY facility of HZB, Berlin, Germany and analyzed the local orientation of the mineral nanoparticles using the nano - imaging facility of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France.

Her group and the Laskin group at EMSL then deployed a set of advanced chemical imaging tools to analyze the particles, including a synchrotron - based X-ray absorption microscope, a scanning electron microscope, a helium ion microscope and a transmission electron microscope.

Several more researchers presented their work during the day, including protein synthesis at atomic resolution, bio-imaging opportunities at synchrotrons, multi-dimensional imaging during plant cell differentiation, how to use electron cryomicroscopy for in situ structural biology, and how structured illumination microscopy can offer insights into the regulation of mammalian meiosis.
