 MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE
 The decision as to which university to apply to is often taken on the basis of a university's position on 
the world rankings table. Yet, other considerations, such as whether the course is (21.THEORY)  The new X-ray microscopes considerably improve on the resolution provided by optical microscopes. 
They can also be used to map the distribution of certain chemical elements. Some can form pictures in 
extremely short times; others hold the promise of special capabilities such as three-dimensional imaging. 
Unlike conventional electron microscopy, X ray microscopy enables specimens to be kept in air and in water, 
which means that biological samples can be studied under conditions similar to their natural state. The 
illumination used, so-called soft X rays in the wavelength range of twenty to forty angstroms (an angstrom 
is one ten-billionth of a. meter), is also sufficiently penetrating to image intact biological cells in many cases. 
Because of the wavelength of the X rays used, soft X-ray microscopes will never match the highest resolution 
possible with electron microscopes. Rather, their special properties will make possible investigations that 
will complement those performed with light- and electron-based instruments.
