32-ID-B,C: Full Field Imaging & Transmission X-ray Microscopy

XSD
GeoScience, Life Sciences, Materials Science

32-ID supports three main techniques: monochromatic full-field imaging, white beam (High-Speed) full-field imaging/diffraction (HSID), and transmission x-ray microscopy (TXM). There are two experimental stations, 32-ID-B at ~37 m from the source and 32-ID-C at ~70 m from the source. Both stations are capable of white or monochromatic beams. The TXM is housed in 32-ID-B while HSID and general monochromatic dynamic full-field imaging is in 32-ID-C. Phase and/or absorption contrasts are available for all techniques. Beamline optics consists of a Kohzu cryo-cooled double-crystal monochromator (Si(111)) in the FOE. 32-ID has two undulators: a U28 for general broad-band spectrum usage; and a U13.5 providing a quasi-single line spectrum at 24.5 keV for (ultrafast) imaging and diffraction work.

Additional Information
Software
The beamline is run using Linux Workstations (Red Hat). Tomographic data analysis is performed using TomoPy (http://www.aps.anl.gov/tomopy/), an open source Python toolbox developed by the APS Imaging Group to perform tomographic data processing and image reconstruction tasks. Beamline control is done though VME crates and EPICS.
