New automated laboratory X-ray microtomograph

This report presents the functionalities of the new tomographic hardware and software setup. The setup was designed and created in the Shubnikov Institute of Crystallography FSRC 'Crystallography and photonics' RAS to solve the problem of quantitative description of the spatial organization of different types of samples. In addition, we report the first results experimental results, which have been obtained. Remotely controlled set-up includes a laboratory X-ray source, shutter, crystal monochromator, vacuum path, sample stage with automatic positioning system for the sample in study (sample size can vary from fractions of a millimeter to several centimeters) and X-rays detectors. The software part solves three main tasks: remote control of the set-up, remote operations with the data (storage, access, processing, etc.), access to set-up and data via a web interface. (authors)
