Experimental set up at the MuCLS: The quasi-monochromatic X-ray beam is produced in the compact synchrotron source by inverse Compton scattering of relativistic electrons and laser photons. Travelling to the experiment, the X-ray beam passes through the rotating filter wheel whose ports are alternatively equipped with an iodine filter and remain empty. While a port of the filter wheel is in the beam, it passes a light barrier which gates detector acquisition. The un/filtered beam then penetrates the sample and falls onto the detector. During imaging, iodine contrast agent is injected into a sample with a remotely driven syringe.
