National Synchrotron Light Source Seminar

"Synchrotron full field x-ray imaging: APS experience and outlook"

Presented by Wah-Keat Lee, Argonne National Laboratory

Thursday, July 7, 2011, 9:30 am — Large Conference Room, Building 703

The advent of synchrotrons have led to a renewed interest in x-ray imaging, in particular, various forms of phase-contrast imaging. In 2005, the APS upgraded an existing beamline into a dedicated full field imaging facility that houses three separate instruments: a white beam micron-resolution instrument, a monochromatic beam micron-resolution instrument and a 40 nm resolution transmission x-ray microscope. The first part and bulk of the talk will focus on a few applications using the micron-resolution instruments, namely insect physiology, ferrofluids and fuel injection systems. These systems involve very complex fluid dynamics, where for the first time, direct experimental data can be collected. The second part of the talk will discuss some of the current technical developments, challenges and general outlook.
