- Abstract
A new X-ray imaging and biomedical application beamline (BL13HB) has been implemented at the Shanghai Radiation Synchrotron Facility (SSRF) as an upgrade to the old X-ray imaging and biomedical application beamline (BL13W1). This is part of the Phase II construction project of the SSRF. The BL13HB is dedicated to 2D and 3D static and dynamic X-ray imaging, with a field of view of up to 48.5 mm × 5.2 mm and spatial resolution as high as 0.8 μm. A super-bending magnet is used as the X-ray source in BL13HB, which has a maximum magnetic field of 2.293 T. The energy range of monochromatic X-ray photons from a double-multiplayer monochromator was 8–40 keV, and the white beam mode was provided on the beamline for dynamic X-ray imaging and dynamic X-ray micro-CT. While maintaining the previous experimental setup of BL13W1, new equipment was added to the beamline experimental station. The beamline is equipped with different sets of X-ray imaging detectors for several experimental methods such as micro-CT, dynamic micro-CT, and pair distribution function. The experimental station of BL13HB is designed specifically for various in situ dynamic experiments, and BL13HB has been open to users since June 2021.
