| Abstract: | The Biomedical Imaging and Therapy (BMIT) beamlines at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) comprise a multi-modality synchrotron imaging facility capable of imaging objects with 2–200 μm resolution with beam sizes up to ~200 mm wide and ~10 mm high in the experimental hutches 1 T.

BMIT hosts two beamlines, a bend magnet 05B1-1 and an insertion device 05ID-2, with capabilities to apply absorption imaging, in-line phase contrast imaging (PCI), analyzer-based imaging (ABI) or diffraction-enhanced imaging (DEI), and K-Edge Subtraction (KES) imaging. Talbot or grating interferometry is under development. |
