The microtomography beamline SYRMEP at Elettra, the Italian Synchrotron in Trieste, is preparing to face a substantial increment in the acquisition rate, due to the upcoming upgrade of the facility. To effectively exploit such improvement, data acquisition and processing are being integrated into a single automated pipeline, with as few user interactions as possible. Images will be transferred...
4th generation high-energy synchrotron photon sources offer unprecedented capabilities of probing matter during transient dynamics at high spatio-temporal scales using hard X-rays. The combination of high brilliance, short bunch duration (down to 100 ps) and high-energy of the extremely brilliant source at ESRF-EBS opens the door of studying materials under extreme events of shock and...
At the ANATOMIX beamline we optimize for good tomographies in terms of image quality (dynamic range, resolution), low dose (efficient optics and absorbing scintillator), and fast scan speed (less than 15 min). A samples changer is available for many samples (36 samples). The tomography setup is often readapted to the user samples needs (magnification, beam energy).
We currently progress the automation of the I13-2 Imaging beamline to increase the scientific output, while reducing the workload on the staff. During the COVID period, we installed an automated sample changer system (robot arm), which in principle allows us operating the beamline without the presence of users and to scan more than a hundred samples per shift. Most importantly the sample...
INTRODUCTION
Adding the possibility of multimodal data acquisition is a must for any beamline. The current challenges are not only
the amount of data and computational resources needed, but also the know-how. This because many users are not
specialists any more in the x-ray field but in another research field. To make the best of the data, data analysis often
is/was outsourced to beamline...
