A new facility for combined neutron imaging and neutron diffraction called IMAT is currently being built at the pulsed neutron spallation source ISIS in the United Kingdom. Analytical techniques will include neutron radiography, neutron tomography, energy-selective neutron imaging, residual strain analysis and spatially resolved texture analysis. The instrument will be available for a wide range of materials science applications with a main emphasis on engineering studies. It is expected that IMAT will start operation in 2015.
