A Dublin start-up’s x-ray microscope will prove a powerful tool for medicine globally, writes Trish Dromey

DUBLIN start-up SiriusXT is in the final stages of developing an innovative new X-ray microscope which is expected to prove a powerful tool in the global war against disease.

Set for commercial release at the end of next year, the patented SXT-100 utilises a light source which allows researchers to illuminate cells and tissue sample and to produce 3D images in a way which was not previously possible in a laboratory setting.
