Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
X-ray microscopy is a technology that operates in the X-ray band in order obtain high-resolution imaging of the internal structure of materials, and is widely applied in fields such as biomedicine, materials science, physics, and other disciplines. Compared to visible light, it is difficult to focus X-ray through refraction. Various X-ray modulation techniques, such as grazing incidence, diffraction, phase contrast, and various forms of X-ray microscopy, have been developed. Examples include traditional X-ray grazing incidence microscopy, multilayer imaging microscopy, X-ray phase contrast microscopy, zone plate microscopy, X-ray fluorescence microscopy, etc. With the development of advanced light source technology and computational optics theory, new types of X-ray coherent diffraction imaging microscopy, X-ray holographic microscopy, X-ray scanning microscopy, X-ray three-dimensional imaging microscopy, etc., have flourished. In recent years, light source, X-ray detector, and optical component technology have all made significant progress, thus further improving the application of X-ray microscopy. In the fields of biomedicine, plasma diagnostics, synchrotron radiation and industrial nondestructive testing, these technological advances are particularly evident. X-ray microscopy has become one of the most powerful tools for understanding the internal structure of materials.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
