P05 imaging beamline at PETRA III: first results

The imaging beamline (IBL/P05) operated by Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht (HZG) at the DESY PETRA III storage ring consists of two experimental stations: A micro tomography and a nano tomography end station. Here an overview of the experimental setups and the data acquisition will be given. In addition some first results out of the wide range of applications using the micro tomography station at P05 will be shown. Furthermore, we present first results of the nano tomography end station. These were obtained with an x–ray microscopy setup, which currently operates at energies of 17.4 and 30 keV using polymer compound refractive lenses (CRLs) and rolled prism lenses. Taken together these results clearly show the high potential of the newly built imaging beamline IBL.
