A radiation furnace that covers the temperature range from room temperature up to 1800 K has been designed and constructed for in situ synchrotron microtomography. The furnace operates under a vacuum or under any inert gas atmosphere. The two 1000 W halogen heating lamps are water‐ and air‐cooled. The samples are located at the focus of these lamp reflectors on a rotary feedthrough that is connected to a driving rotation stage below the furnace. The X‐ray beam penetrates the furnace through two X‐ray‐transparent vacuum‐sealed windows. Further windows can be used for temperature control, sample changing and gas inflow and outflow.
