Description

3D X-ray imaging is a powerful technique. Over time, great progress has been made in terms of the spatial and temporal resolution. Synchrotron radiation has properties of high flux, brightness, and stability required for fast imaging. The ID10 - BEATS beamline at the SESAME synchrotron is a microtomography beamline. Advanced imaging techniques include phase-contrast microtromography and edge-sensitive imaging. This beamline is relatively new, starting its operation in 2024. Successful in situ experiments have been performed. These include mechanical testing, tensile and compression tests, battery charging and discharging, and fluid flow experiments. Further experiments are being designed for in situ induction heating. A new sample stage is being installed and commissioned. These developments and initial user experiments illustrate the capabilities of the BEATS beamline regarding time-resolved measurements, which is a state-of-the-art method.
