Scientific Scope 1：Ptychography has been applied to the research and detection of chip structures. This technology can reconstruct the internal structure based on the diffracted data of the chip structure without damage, which can be used to find deviations between chip manufacturing and design and discover possible hardware backdoors in the chip.

Scientific Scope 2： The energy range of BL09 spans 2.1–10 keV, encompassing the K-absorption edges of elements such as phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, calcium, titanium, and manganese—elements closely related to environmental pollution, energy catalysis, agricultural ecology, and life sciences. Spectroscopic microimaging techniques can reveal three-dimensional structural changes in samples, along with the spatial distribution and valence state evolution of these elements.

Scientific Scope 3：The high-brightness characteristics of the fourth-generation diffraction-limited ring light source can significantly enhance imaging temporal resolution, enabling in-situ/operando microspectroscopic imaging of batteries and research into nanomaterial growth.

Scientific Scope 4：Cellular fibrosis is a core mechanism of aging and related diseases , involving dysregulation of various fundamental life activities. Therefore, deciphering the mechanisms of cellular fibrosis will contribute to revealing the fundamental principles of life activities.

Imaging technology of BL09 enables cross-scale (10 nm - 10 µm), in situ, and three-dimensional non-destructive cellular imaging. It allows multi-scale (molecular-subcellular structure-cellular) observation, deciphering the intricate interaction networks among biomacromolecules, metabolites, subcellular structures, and other multi-scale, multi-system components.
