AIM & SCOPE

_______

The microsymposium UDM2 will focus on the new BM18 beamline of the ESRF-EBS. The beamline is principally designed for propagation phase contrast synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography, covering a large range of energy and resolution. It relies on the smallest source of the new storage ring lattice, delivered by a short tripole wiggler, offering a very high spatial coherence, a large beam up to 30 cm in width and energies up to 250 keV.

The large sample stage capable of handling objects of 60 cm in diameter, 2.5 m in height and up to 300 kg considerably increase the range of samples that can be imaged at the ESRF. A series of detectors mounted on a large stage, allows for rapid change of optics, making it possible to switch the recorded pixel size in an almost fully continuous 0.65µm to 90 µm range. The microsymposium will focus on the applications that are achievable thanks to the specificities of the beamlines.
