Beamline 32-ID-B,C: Full Field Imaging & Transmission X-ray Microscopy

X-ray Science Division, APS
Materials Science, Life Sciences, GeoScience

Description

32-ID supports three main techniques: monochromatic full-field imaging, white beam (High-Speed) full-field imaging/diffraction (HSID), and transmission x-ray microscopy (TXM). There are two experimental stations, 32-ID-B at ~37 m from the source and 32-ID-C at ~70 m from the source. Both stations are capable of white or monochromatic beams. The TXM is housed in 32-ID-B while HSID and general monochromatic dynamic full-field imaging is in 32-ID-C. Phase and/or absorption contrasts are available for all techniques. Beamline optics consists of a Kohzu cryo-cooled double-crystal monochromator (Si(111)) in the FOE. 32-ID has two undulators: a U28 for general broad-band spectrum usage; and a U13.5 providing a quasi-single line spectrum at 24.5 keV for (ultrafast) imaging and diffraction work.

 

Supported Techniques

  • Phase contrast imaging
  • Radiography
  • Transmission x-ray microscopy
  • Tomography

Beamline Controls and Data Acquisition

The beamline is run using Linux Workstations (Red Hat). Tomographic data analysis is performed using TomoPy (http://www.aps.anl.gov/tomopy/), an open source Python toolbox developed by the APS Imaging Group to perform tomographic data processing and image reconstruction tasks. Beamline control is done though VME crates and EPICS.

Detectors

  • Ionization chambers, Photodetectors
  • CCD area detectors
  • High frame rate cameras (Photron SA-Z, Shimadzu HPV-X2, Phantom TXM7510)

Additional Equipment

  • Optical tables (4)
  • Millisecond and microsecond shutters for high speed imaging work
  • CRLs box for beam focusing (up to 40 lenses)
