Welcome to I13

I13: X-ray Imaging and Coherence

At 250 metres in length, I13 is Diamond’s longest beamline. It comprises two branchlines which provide complementary X-ray imaging techniques.

The branchlines run simultaneously and independently of one another. They support a broad range of scientific users from fields such as biology, materials science, geology, medicine, archaeology and engineering.

Coherence Branchline (I13-1)

Resolution beyond the limitations given by the detector and X-ray optics can be achieved with methods working in reciprocal space. For crystalline samples Coherent X-ray Diffraction allows not only reconstructing the shape of nano-crystals but also provides 3D information about parameters such as the internal stress.

Diamond Manchester Imaging Branchline (I13-2)

This branchline performs in-line phase contrast imaging and tomography over a large field of view in the 8-30keV energy range. The spatial resolution for this technique can extend a little beyond a micron. It will also be possible to switch the instrument to full-field microscopy with 50nm spatial resolution.
