High-resolution X-ray microscopy, developed around 10 years ago, enables non-destructive 3D microstructure determination at universities and colleges for the first time, something that was previously only possible at synchrotrons. As part of the DFG's large-scale instrumentation initiative in 2016, several systems were established at universities in Germany and skills in device operation, preparation workflows and data analysis were built up. As a next logical step, in-situ measurement technology will be established within this system in this proposal. For this purpose, an in-situ mechanical measuring device will be integrated into the existing system in Halle in order to investigate the mechanical properties of novel hyperuniform materials. It has become apparent in recent years that the evaluation of the data, including segmentation, still requires a lot of time from scientists. In order to meaningfully evaluate time series under mechanical stress, a significant improvement in automated evaluation is therefore necessary, which is part of the application. This new software will be developed for the first time in Germany together with KIT and Univ. of Saarland and will be established in the future within the framework of the NFDIMatWerk.
