DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrew Stevenson (Australian Synchrotron)\nThe Micro
 -Computed Tomography (MCT) beamline is one of the first new beamlines to b
 e constructed at the Australian Synchrotron as part of the BRIGHT program.
   MCT will complement the existing X-ray imaging/tomography capability pro
 vided by the Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL)\, and will target applica
 tions requiring higher (sub-micron) spatial resolution and involving small
 er samples.  MCT will be a bending-magnet beamline\, operating in the 8 to
  40 keV range\, based on a double-multilayer monochromator.  Filtered whit
 e and pink beams will also be available\, the latter utilising a single-(v
 ertical)bounce mirror.  MCT will benefit from X-ray phase-contrast modalit
 ies (such as propagation-based\, grating-based and speckle) in addition to
  conventional absorption contrast\, and be equipped with a robotic stage f
 or rapid sample exchange.  A higher-resolution CT configuration based on t
 he use of a Fresnel zone plate system will also be available.  A number of
  sample environmental stages\, such as for high temperature and the applic
 ation of loads\, are planned in collaboration with certain groups in the u
 ser community.\n\nAnticipated application areas for non-destructive 3D sam
 ple characterisation include biomedical/ health science\, food\, materials
  science\, and palaeontology.  This presentation will provide an update on
  the progress of the MCT project\, including the procurement of three stat
 e-of-the-art X-ray detector systems\, and the significant scientific-compu
 ting effort required to meet the demands of this high-performance imaging 
 beamline.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/146/contributions/4
