A full‐field hard X‐ray imaging beamline (BL‐4) was designed, developed, installed and commissioned recently at the Indus‐2 synchrotron radiation source at RRCAT, Indore, India. The bending‐magnet beamline is operated in monochromatic and white beam mode. A variety of imaging techniques are implemented such as high‐resolution radiography, propagation‐ and analyzer‐based phase contrast imaging, real‐time imaging, absorption and phase contrast tomography etc . First experiments on propagation‐based phase contrast imaging and micro‐tomography are reported.
