Finally, the thread (you didn't know) you have been waiting for 🥳 "How can we use X-ray scattering to learn about the way the atoms sit in a #small #nanoparticle?" - lets use the Pair Distribution Function #PDF ! It's all about the neighbors 1/6 /@RPittkowski
To get information from small #nanoparticles, where periodic lattice planes are rare, we measure the X-ray scattering to very large scattering angles. This is called #Xray #totalscattering. So we need to come veeeery close with the detector to our sample.😱😬 2/6
Again, we integrate our scattering image (check up older tweets), but we are not done yet. More data treatment is necessary. We use a #Fouriertransform and transform from reciprocal (Q) space to #real #space - and there we have it, our PDF 😍3/6

I will try to give you a little #glimpse of the experiments we were running the past days at the P02.1 beamline at DESY @p021_desy
The experiments did involve a #robot 🤓🤖 and many, many tiny glass capillaries....

A #thread 🧵 with a robot #video 1/6 @RPittkowski Image
First, we place capillaries filled with #nanoparticles (small glass tubes) on a holder, which the robot can later grab. This involves a lot of wax and steady hands, to place the capillaries in a straight way. In the picture you can see a sample rack full of capillaries. 2/6 Image
Here you can see a sample spinning in the lab, to check if the capillaries are straight, or if we need to move them a little to even out any wobbling👩‍🔬- we can melt the wax again and angle them new 3/6

Radiografía PA de tórax de una mujer de 73 años.
- ¿Qué signos radiológicos reconoces?
- ¿Dónde localizarías la lesión?

#xray #radiology #radtwitter #RadRes #HUNSC #chest Image
Signos radiológicos:

-Hilio oculto
-La lesión no puede estar localizada en el mediastino medio, tiene que estar en mediastino anterior o posterior
Signo radiológico localizador
Dos estructuras con la misma densidad radiológica que entran en contacto no se distinguen en la radiografía (signo de la silueta)
Dos estructuras con la misma densidad radiológica en distintos planos son distinguibles en la radiografía.

Ever wondered what's happening inside a fish's mouth when feeding?
Check out our new paper, just published in @eLife, thanks to A. Brunet, A. Filippo and S. Van Wassenbergh @UMR_MECADEV @Le_Museum

We can't see inside the buccal cavity without specific techniques, so we developed an #Xray based method to follow the water flows inside the fish's mouth.

We also designed water tracers, just for the experiment. They needed to be of around the same density as water but also visible on Xray. So we inserted foam on a nickel rod... BY HAND 😮

What is the anechoic tubular structure? - IVC with a catheter or something else 🤔
Clue: @PittIMPOCUS recently shared a similar image.
Answer: In thread #POCUS #IMPOCUS #FOAMed
That's duodenum with a feeding tube #POCUS

Here is the #XRAY demonstrating the tube in duodenum

Cada mañana hacemos controles en planta de radiografía portátil a pacientes con Covid19 o con sospecha.
Parece un laboratorio biológico:
Mesas con gel hidroalcohólico, guantes de diversos tamaños, mascarillas, batas impermeables, pantallas de acetato, cubos de desecho biológico.
Hay limpiadoras constantemente pasando mopas por suelos y paredes...
Necesitamos Comunicación constante entre todos los trabajadores.
Recuerda a los protocolos de seguridad de protección radiológica por radiación dispersa, aunque ahora no se oye tanto el asustadizo "¡rayo!"
Dedicamos la realización de la radiografía portátil con especial atención, porque también este 'carro' necesita desinfección constante porque se conduce entre ambientes aéreos de probable elevada carga viral. Este equipamiento se puede convertir en vector de contagio!!
