Four Dimensional X-ray Microscopy (FDXM) is an advanced X-ray microscopy facility to look at three
dimensional (3D) internal structure of samples and its evolution.This constitutes of Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa x-ray tomography system along with other attachments of high temperature and low
temperature tensile stage (Deben CT5000-TEC). The facility gets its name as four dimensional microscopy
because it has three spacial dimensions and one time dimension (produced by stresses and
temperature imparted by the Deben stage). These can work for metallic, ceramic, biological and
polymeric materials etc.
The facility is operated by IIT Bombay and is available to researchers at large on a payment basis.
