| Newly constructed 4th generation sources of intense synchrotron radiation in ultrafast pulses of only 10-50 fs and wavelengths up to X-rays, the free electron lasers, are expected to revolutionize development of biological science. To take full advantage of unique properties of the sources, new imaging techniques of molecular and microscopic biological objects are developed. Present article provides a short review of a stormy development of bioimaging with incoming soon 4th generation synchrotron radiation X-ray sources. Some implications for the future of new sources and techniques are discussed as well. |
