Synopsis
ID19 is a hard X-ray beamline mainly devoted to (in situ) microtomography and high-speed radiography, with an intensive use of X-ray phase contrast. These techniques are applied to a wide variety of topics such as materials research, palaeontology and industrial applications. The high level of versatility of the beamline allows for adapting it to a wide range of experimental setups ranging from in situ studies with furnaces or gas gun up to low-dose imaging of soft tissue specimens.

Sample environments
- Various in situ furnaces and mechanical loading stages
Detectors
- Various indirect area detectors, frequently with 2048 x 2048 pixels, pixel sizes between 0.2 micron and 30 micron and spatial resolving power between 1 micron and 100 micron. The given field of view is defined by the number of pixels and the pixel size chosen.
Technical details
ID19 is full-field imaging beamline which currently does not use any collimating or focusing optics. Tomographic modes include classical microtomography and (phase-sensitive) holotomography.
