Kurzfassung
The potential for development of X-ray microscopy is part of the scientific cases for the construction of the third generation synchrotron light sources. The unique capability of X-ray microscopes to explore heterogeneous phenomena at mesoscopic length scales (~ 50 nm) has increasing impact in micro-characterization of solid and liquid matter. Two X-ray microscope types are in operation, scanning and full-field imaging, with different but complementary imaging capabilities in terms of image acquisition and spectroscopy.
In this project of the European Commission, a novel approach in system integration is used to build a transportable end-station for scanning and full-field imaging with easy switch between the two modes. This instrument combines state-of-art performance in terms of fast imaging, tomography and spectroscopy and can be used for advanced studies in material research, environmental science, geochemistry, biology and medicine. The project includes experts in optics and X-ray microscopy from three facilities and four academic institutions.
