Abstract: The Micro‐Computed Tomography (MCT) beamline at the Australian Synchrotron (ANSTO) has undergone significant advancements in data acquisition and processing infrastructure to support the growing diversity of user needs and experimental techniques. Originally designed for conventional X‐ray computed tomography, the beamline now accommodates advanced imaging modalities such as speckle‐based and grid‐based phase contrast imaging. These improvements were made possible by combining fast data transfer, powerful computing with GPUs, and large data storage. A flexible and user‐friendly software system is helping researchers control experiments and process data efficiently. The result is a fast, reliable, and adaptable system that meets the needs of a wide variety of users, requiring many different experimental configurations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
