The structure of crystalline materials is typically organised hierarchically on several length
scales. Hard x-ray microscopy is presented as a collection of modalities that allows to zoom …

The principles of a novel technique for nondestructive and simultaneous mapping of the
three-dimensional grain and the absorption microstructure of a material are explained. The …

The combination of synchrotron radiation x-ray imaging and diffraction techniques offers
new possibilities for in-situ observation of deformation and damage mechanisms in the bulk …

Laboratory X-ray diffraction contrast tomography (LabDCT) has recently been developed as
a powerful technique for non-destructive mapping of grain microstructures in bulk materials …

Third generation synchrotron X-rays provide an unprecedented opportunity for
microstructural characterization of many engineering materials as well as natural materials …

3-Dimensional X-Ray Diffraction (3DXRD) microscopy is a tool for fast and non-destructive
characterization of the individual grains, sub-grains and domains inside bulk materials. The …

Three new advanced acquisition strategies for lab-based diffraction contrast tomography are
presented. They are named Helical Phyllotaxis, Helical Phyllotaxis Raster, and Helical …

Polycrystal orientation mapping techniques based on full-field acquisition schemes like X-
ray Diffraction Contrast Tomography and certain other variants of 3D X-ray Diffraction or …

X-ray-based non-destructive 3D grain mapping techniques are well established at
synchrotron facilities. To facilitate everyday access to grain mapping instruments, laboratory …

The advent of nanosciences calls for the development of local structural probes, in particular
to characterize ill-ordered or heterogeneous materials. Furthermore, because materials …
