title: Biological applications of X-ray microprobes.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present an overview of the workshop on X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Talks presented at the workshop and the associated works are highlighted.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Use of XFM in biomedical sciences is growing and may be advanced even further by adding (i) high resolution microprobes, and (ii) high throughput approaches to the XFM toolbox.
