At the Canadian Light Source (CLS) in Canada, the BioMedical Imaging and Therapy (BMIT) bend magnet (BMIT-BM) beamlines and insertion device (BMIT-ID) have been very successful in their mission to image biological tissue and conduct live animal imaging studies. However, since their inception, they’ve been limited by the vertical beam size. This poses limitations for imaging modalities such as...

Vibrating wire devices have been used in the past to determine the viscosity of
Newtonian fluids. We are investigating the use of a vibrating wire device to measure the viscous and elastic moduli of non-Newtonian fluids. Our device consists of a small diameter tungsten wire under tension and immersed in a fluid. When a magnetic field is applied and an alternating current is passed through...

The BioMedical Imaging and Therapy (BMIT) facility provides synchrotron-specific imaging and radiation therapy capabilities [1-5]. There are two separate end-stations used for experiments: the Bending Magnet (BM) 05B1-1 beamline [3] and the Insertion Device (ID) 05ID-2 beamline [4-5]. Core research programs include human and animal reproduction, cancer imaging and therapy, spinal cord injury...

The status of the construction of the Brockhouse X-Ray Diffraction and Scattering Sector, at the Canadian Light Source, will be discussed. The sector will be in operation in 2017 and will support a diverse, active and successful community of Canadian and international materials scientists. The instrumentation will meet their diverse needs by providing excellent performance over a broad x-ray...

Refractometric sensors can be used to detect small changes in refractive index (RI) of an analyte fluid. In microfluidics, they can be used to measure temperature or chemical changes in a miniscule analyte volume. Refractometric sensors can be extended into the biosensing domain via chemical functionalization of the sensor surface. My project goal is to find ways to improve the sensitivities...
