Beamline P64 at PETRA III is dedicated to x-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments which require high flux, like quick extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy on the sub-second time scale, high-resolution resonant emission spectroscopy, and x-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy of highly diluted systems. The beamline is installed at the high-energy storage ring PETRA III. [...]

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Germany, is operating the user experiments for microtomography at the beamlines P05 and P07 using synchrotron radiation produced in the storage ring PETRA III at DESY, Hamburg, Germany. In recent years the software pipeline and sample changing hardware for performing high throughput experiments were developed. [...]

n this work we present x-ray phase-contrast tomography of heart tissue from mouse, combining computed tomography (CT) scans with laboratory and synchrotron radiation. The work serves as a proof-of-concept that the cyto-architecture and in particular the myofibril orientation can be assessed in three dimensions (3D) by phase-contrast CT. [...]

A functionally graded shape memory alloy was investigated by thermal, mechanical, thermomechanical and structural analysis, namely using in-situ synchrotron-based x-ray diffraction during cyclic tensile load/unload. Diffraction patterns were recorded under applied stress during the stress-induced martensitic transformation, analyzed and interpreted in view of the evolution of microstructure. [...]

The commissioning of the European XFEL is ongoing. To reduce unwanted longitudinal micro-bunching effects, a laser heater is implemented. [...]
