Dedicated full-field X-ray imaging beamline at Advanced Photon Source

Abstract We report the basic beamline design and current status of a new full-field X-ray imaging facility at Sector 32 of the Advanced Photon Source. The beamline consists of an existing hutch at 40 m and a new experiment enclosure at 77 m from the source, with both monochromatic and white-beam undulator X-ray capabilities. Experimental programs being planned for the beamline include high-speed time-resolved imaging, phase-contrast and coherent imaging, diffraction-enhanced imaging, ultra-small-angle scattering imaging, and phase- and absorption-contrast transmission X-ray microscopy.
