We performed research in bioimaging with x-ray diffraction microscopy on various aspects concerning microscope hardware development, sample preparation, data acquisition, data analysis, etc. We achieved results including first three-dimensional observation of a cellular organelle using hard x-rays leading research in the field. Our study also provided structural information of biological interest. For example, in the chromosome image which we successfully visualized, axial structure was observed first without staining or other methods to artificially enhance image contrast.
