title: Present state and perspectives of synchrotron radiation diffraction imaging.
abstract: The modern third-generation synchrotron radiation sources offer enhanced possibilities for all variants of imaging techniques. The quantitative and qualitative improvements with respect to previous synchrotron diffraction imaging work, which include the investigation in transmission of bulky samples, the use, as an additional parameter, of the sample-to-detector distance, and the use of the coherence of the beam, are illustrated by several examples. Emphasis is given to the possibilities associated with modern electronic detectors for this type of imaging. The new techniques implemented at the ESRF that take full advantage of new capabilities, and more particularly that of 'topo-tomography', are presented.
