The imaging and medical therapy beamline will offer high-resolution, phase-contrast x-ray imaging of biomedical samples and a wide range of engineering materials. It will also enable research into new cancer treatments.

The beamline will be 150 metres long, with a satellite building that will later include a medical suite for clinical research as well as extensive support facilities for biomedical and clinical research programs. All experiment enclosures will eventually have near-beam surgery facilities for fast preparation-to-measurement transfers.

The first phase of this ‘long beamline’ program was commissioned in 2009. It will cater for high-resolution phase contrast imaging of medium-sized samples.
