Operated by the X-ray Tomography Group.
TOMCAT is temporarily out of operation due to upgrades.
The TOMCAT beamline is temporarily out of operation for synchrotron tomographic microscopy experiments while the Swiss Light Source (SLS) undergoes a modernisation programme from September 2023 to January 2025 (SLS 2.0 upgrade project). In parallel with the works on the SLS machine, TOMCAT also gets an upgrade. The future TOMCAT 2.0 will consist of two beamlines: I-TOMCAT, a brand-new instrument based on an insertion device of the latest generation, and S-TOMCAT, powered by a new high-field superconducting bending magnet. The first scientific experiments are planned for August 2025.
