Abstract
SYRMEP is the hard X-ray imaging beamline of Elettra synchrotron offering X-ray full-field techniques, micro-computed tomography (microCT) and phase-contrast modality in the energy range 10–40 keV. The beamline operates in a multidisciplinary research context spanning from biomedical applications to botany, from zoology to food technology and cultural heritage, from materials engineering to geology and earth science. Thanks to the flexibility of SYRMEP setup, in situ experiments can be performed as well, novel imaging methods can be developed and implemented in a synergical manner with interested users and collaborators. SYRMEP peculiar wide beam together with the long sample-to-detector distance enables multiscale phase-contrast studies with optimized contrast and spatial resolution on rather large specimens, such as human lung phantoms. This is particularly relevant in view of future clinical lung imaging foreseen in the framework of Elettra 2.0 program. Here, the current beamline features and recent upgrades are illustrated, an overview of the imaging methods routinely offered to SYRMEP users’ community is presented, and the outlook for the new beamline SYRMEP-Life Science (SYRMEP-LS) is reported.
