The Exxon microtomography beam line at the National Synchrotron Light Source (invited)

Abstract

Instrumentation for beam line X2 at the National Synchrotron Light Source is described. The beam line is configured as a dedicated experimental station whose design has been optimized for carrying out both microtomography and microradiography. The facility has proven to be a reliable three-dimensional microscope for imaging the interior structure of heterogeneous materials.
