AbstractSingle grains of real quasicrystals have been investigated using X-ray imaging techniques at a third-generation synchrotron radiation source (ESRF). Facetted microholes have been observed. The experimental results are discussed with reference to a description of the quasicrystal structure in terms of overlapping atomic clusters (self-similar packing or random covering modifications). Relations between holes and quasicrystal formation are also discussed.

Abstract The advent of high-flux, high-brilliance synchrotron radiation (SR) has prompted the development of high-resolution X-ray imaging techniques such as full-field microscopy, holography, coherent diffraction imaging and ptychography. These techniques have strong potential to establish non-destructive three- and four-dimensional nano-imaging when combined with computed tomography (CT), called nano-tomography (nano-CT). X-ray nano-CTs based on full-field microscopy are now routinely available and widely used. Here we discuss the current status and some applications of nano-CT using a Fresnel zone plate as an objective. Optical properties of full-field microscopy, such as spatial resolution and off-axis aberration, which determine the effective field of view, are also discussed, especially in relation to 3D tomographic imaging.

SPring-8 is a third-generation synchrotron radiation source operating in the soft and hard X-ray region. It consists of an injector linac of 1 GeV, a booster synchrotron of 8 GeV and a storage ring with a natural emittance of 5.9 nm rad. The storage ring can accommodate 61 beamlines in total, and 26 of them are under construction. The project has been carried out jointly by JAERI and RIKEN and construction of the facility started in 1991. Commissioning of the injector linac was started in August 1996 and an 8 GeV electron beam was injected into the storage ring in March 1997. The first synchrotron radiation from a bending magnet was observed at the front end of the beamline on 25 March and radiation from an undulator was observed on 23 April. On-beam testing of seven beamlines, four of them from in-vacuum undulators and three from bending magnets, started in July. The maximum stored current is currently fixed at 20 mA and the lifetime at maximum current is longer than 20 h. The dedication is scheduled for October 1997.

The ESRF synchrotron beamline ID22, dedicated to hard X-ray microanalysis and consisting of the combination of X-ray fluorescence, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, diffraction and 2D/3D X-ray imaging techniques, is one of the most versatile instruments in hard X-ray microscopy science. This paper describes the present beamline characteristics, recent technical developments, as well as a few scientific examples from recent years of the beamline operation. The upgrade plans to adapt the beamline to the growing needs of the user community are briefly discussed.
