In addition to materials science, these fields also include biology, cultural heritage, and medicine. Being a non-destructive characterization method, synchrotron X-ray imaging, in particular tomography (SXCT), plays a particularly important role in structural characterization. A recent upgrade of key BAMline equipment expands the imaging capabilities: The upgraded dual multilayer monochromator offers flexibility by providing different energy spectra to optimize flux and energy resolution as desired. Different spectra (8 – 60 keV with ΔE/E 0.01%, 1.5%, 4% and pink beam) can be selected. The upgraded detector (in white beam configuration, equipped with an sCMOS camera) allows the higher flux to be exploited with reduced readout times. Shorter tomographic acquisition times in the range of seconds are now possible. Hence, in-situ and operando examinations are routinely available. An integrated slip ring allows continuous rotation of the sample stage for ease of wiring. The pink beam option allows tomographic observation of processes occurring in the time domain of a few seconds with a resolution down to ~ 1 µm. Different scan methods, optimized for quality and speed are available and discussed. Examples of energy related materials from fuel cell and battery research are shown. An optional end station allows refraction enhanced imaging (synchrotron X-Ray refraction radiography (SXRR) and tomography (SXRCT)). That includes an analyzer Si-crystal in Bragg alignment between sample and detector. This technique obtains sensitivity to smaller structures (cracks, pores) down to a few wavelengths, while obtaining field of view sizes in the range of several mm. Besides medicine (e.g., teeth explants), several applications are found in material science, like studies on diesel particulate filters, ceramics, additively manufactured (AM) alloys and metal matrix composites (MMC). The in-situ capabilities include mechanical load (tension and compression) and heating up to 1100°C. A case study, the microstructural evolution during heat treatment of an AM AlSi10Mg, will be shown.
