Project Description

Describe the overall project:

Can you summarize your research study in 1-3 sentences? (e.g. "We want to measure the copper concentration in Arabidopsis thaliana flowers, for wild type and mutant lines. We are also interested in zinc, iron, manganese, calcium, and potassium.")

Sample Characteristics

What are your samples?

(Plant species, specific tissues? Whole specimens, cross sections? How many?)

How small are the features you hope to resolve?

This helps us determine what x-ray beam size is needed.

What elements are you interested in measuring?

This helps us determine what x-ray energy is needed.

How large an area is it important to study for each sample or set of samples, and what are the dimensions of the images you want to obtain?

With the beam size, this is helpful for estimating the duration of each measurement.

Logistics

How far in advance do you need notice to grow and/or prepare your samples?

Will you need any special equipment or resources during your experiment?

Is there a timeline for your project that we should be aware of?

Funding
