XSD-IMG: 2-BM-A,B

Welcome to 2-BM-A,B

The 2-BM-A,B beamline hosts a dedicated parallel-beam micro tomography program. Major design improvements to meet user demand and to provide superior analytical imaging performance and in situ capabilities include: (1) designed and implemented a new standardized control system (TomoScan) that supports step & fly & interlaced scans and streaming data collection for tomography. This systems now runs at 2-BM, 7-BM, and 32-ID allowing for fast propagation of new features and improvements with lower maintenance effort; (2) designed and implemented a new real-time tomography reconstruction code (TomoStream) to support streaming data collection; (3) designed and implemented a new command-line-interface (tomopy-cli) to better support our tomography reconstruction software (tomopy); (4) installed and tested a new Adimec camera for fast data acquisition; (5) installed a new gas pump system for in-situ experiments with high-pressure conditions;
