摘要: With the spatial coherence of X-rays and high flux and brightness of the 3rd generation synchrotron radiation facility, X-ray phase contrast microscopy (XPCM) at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) can provide high resolution dynamic imaging of low electron density materials in principle. In this paper, we investigated the cavitation and water-refilling processes in rice and bamboo leaves utilizing XPCM at SSRF. The occurrence of xylem cavitation was recorded in vivo. The study also revealed that under different dehydration conditions, cavitation occurs in different degrees, and therefore, the refilling process is different. The results demonstrate that SSRF can provide high enough fluxes to study dynamic processes in plants in real-time, and XPCM is expected to be a promising method to reveal the mechanisms of cavitation and its repair in plants nondestructively.

摘要: Full-field transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) is a powerful nondestructive three-dimensional (3D) imaging method with a nanoscale spatial resolution that has been used in most synchrotron facilities worldwide. An in-house-designed TXM system was constructed at the BL18B 3D Nanoimaging beamline at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The beamline operates from 5 to 14 keV and enables 20 nm spatial resolution imaging. The characterization details of the beamline are described in this paper. The performances in terms of spatial resolution, nano-CT, and nano-spectral imaging of the TXM beamline are also presented in this article.

摘要: A new X-ray imaging and biomedical application beamline (BL13HB) has been implemented at the Shanghai Radiation Synchrotron Facility (SSRF) as an upgrade to the old X-ray imaging and biomedical application beamline (BL13W1). This is part of the Phase II construction project of the SSRF. The BL13HB is dedicated to 2D and 3D static and dynamic X-ray imaging, with a field of view of up to 48.5 5.2 mm2 and spatial resolution as high as 0.8 m. A super-bending magnet is used as the X-ray source in BL13HB, which has a maximum magnetic field of 2.293 T. The energy range of monochromatic X-ray photons from a double-multiplayer monochromator was 8-40 keV, and the white beam mode was provided on the beamline for dynamic X-ray imaging and dynamic X-ray micro-CT. While maintaining the previous experimental setup of BL13W1, new equipment was added to the beamline experimental station. The beamline is equipped with different sets of X-ray imaging detectors for several experimental methods such as micro-CT, dynamic micro-CT, and pair distribution function (PDF). The experimental station of BL13HB is designed specifically for various in situ dynamic experiments, and BL13HB has been open to users since June 2021.

摘要: Doped elements in alloys significantly impact their performance. Conventional methods usually sputter the surface material of the sample, or their performance is limited to the surface of alloys owing to their poor penetration ability. The X-ray K-edge subtraction (KES) method exhibits great potential for the nondestructive in situ detection of element contents in alloys. However, the signal of doped elements usually deteriorates because of the strong absorption of the principal component and scattering of crystal grains. This in turn prevents the extensive application of X-ray KES imaging to alloys. In this study, methods were developed to calibrate the linearity between the grayscale of the KES image and element content. The methods were aimed at the sensitive analysis of elements in alloys. Furthermore, experiments with phantoms and alloys demonstrated that, after elaborate calibration, X-ray KES imaging is capable of nondestructive and sensitive analysis of doped elements in alloys.
