P05 - Imaging Beamline
The imaging beamline (IBL) is dedicated to micro- and nanotomography at energies between 5 keV and 50 keV. The Beamline has two end stations, a micro tomography end station for spatial resolutions down to 1 µm and FOVs between 0.9 - 7.2 mm2 and a nano tomography end station for spatial resolutions down to 100 nm and FOVs up to 50µm2.
