In autumn 2005 the GKSS-Research Center Geesthacht in cooperation with Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Hamburg, started operation of the new synchrotron radiation beamline HARWI-2. The beamline is specialized for materials science experiments using hard X-rays. Recently the fixed-exit monochromator for imaging application was installed. Using different sets of crystals in combination with an adapted setup of the beamline optics allow for using an intense and large monochromatic X-ray beam in the energy range of 15 to 200 keV. Investigations performing microtomography in the different energy regions are presented. Furthermore the user experiment for microtomography operated by the GKSS at beamline BW2 was enhanced to perform continuous tomographic investigations.
