A Review of X‐Ray Imaging at the BAM line (BESSY II)

The hard X ray beamline BAMline at BESSY II Berlin, Germany has now been in service for 20 amp; 8201;years. Several improvements have been implemented in this time, and this review provides an overview of the imaging methods available at the BAMline. Besides classic full field synchrotron X ray computed tomography SXCT , also absorption edge CT, synchrotron X ray refraction radiography SXRR , and synchrotron X ray refraction tomography SXRCT are used for imaging. Moreover, virtually any of those techniques are currently coupled in amp; 8201;situ or operando with ancillary equipment such as load rigs, furnaces, or potentiostats. Each of the available techniques is explained and both the current and the potential usage are described with corresponding examples. The potential use is manifold, the examples cover organic materials, composite materials, energy related materials, biological samples, and materials related to additive manufacturing. The article includes published examples as well as some unpublished applications
