ID19 - Microtomography beamline

Synopsis

ID19 is a multi-purpose long (145 m) imaging beamline for radiography (absorption and phase contrast imaging), microtomography and laminography experiments.
Five insertion devices are located in the ID19 straight section (four undulators and one wiggler) the choice of one of them as source being a function of the experiment requirements.
