The Beamline is construction phase: June 2025 – December 2029
Updates for future users on ongoing base: keep tuned!
TomoWISE is designed to be a state-of-the-art beamline completely dedicated to high-resolution full-field tomography of materials, exploiting the large penetration power of high energy X-rays. The beamline received funds from WISE and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation in June 2025, and has entered the construction phase immediately after.
On a 3 GeV synchrotron storage ring, producing high flux X-ray beams from higher harmonics of an undulator above 45 keV is only made possible by the small emittance of a 4th generation source. TomoWISE is thus designed to exploit the brilliance of the beam produced at MAX IV for enhanced image contrast, fast acquisition and improved resolution in phase contrast imaging methods using parallel and divergent beams. By delivering a high photon flux between 20 keV and 65 keV, TomoWISE will dramatically expand the X-ray energy range currently available at MAX IV, thus enabling new research opportunities for the Swedish materials science community.
