  (ANSTO/Australian Synchrotron)\n\nThe Micro-Computed Tomography (MCT) bea
 mline is one of the first new beamlines to be constructed at the Australia
 n Synchrotron as part of the BRIGHT program.  MCT will complement the exis
 ting X-ray imaging/tomography capability provided by the Imaging and Medic
 al Beamline (IMBL)\, and will target applications requiring higher (sub-mi
 cron) spatial resolution and involving smaller samples.  MCT will be a ben
 ding-magnet beamline\, operating in the 8 to 40 keV range\, based on a dou
 ble-multilayer monochromator.  Filtered white and pink beams will also be 
 available\, the latter utilising a single-(vertical)bounce mirror.  MCT wi
 ll benefit from X-ray phase-contrast modalities (such as propagation-based
 \, grating-based and speckle) in addition to conventional absorption contr
 ast\, and be equipped with a robotic stage for rapid sample exchange.  A h
 igher-resolution CT configuration based on the use of a Fresnel zone plate
  system will also be available.  A number of sample environmental stages\,
  such as for high temperature and the application of loads\, are planned i
 n collaboration with certain groups in the user community.\n\nAnticipated 
 application areas for non-destructive 3D sample characterisation include b
 iomedical/ health science\, food\, materials science\, and palaeontology. 
  This presentation will provide an update on the progress of the MCT proje
 ct\, including the procurement of three state-of-the-art X-ray detector sy
 stems\, and the significant scientific-computing effort required to meet t
 he demands of this high-performance imaging beamline.\n\nhttps://events.sy
