The IMG group designs, supports, and operates state-of-the-art x-ray instrumentation and scientific software for 2-D and 3-D full-field imaging. Development efforts focus on optimizing for speed, sensitivity, and resolution by taking full advantage of the unique properties of the APS source, such as the time structure, the high energy, and the low emittance. This allows for multi-scale imaging of real materials—in real time—and under real conditions.
