We show the new possibilities of section topography techniques at a third-generation synchrotron radiation facility, taking advantage of the high performances of this machine. Examples of the 1) so-called multiple sections, 2) visibility of weakly miso¡ regions, 3) study of thick samples, 4) monochromatic and 5) realtime sections ate presented.PACS 61.72.Dd -Experimental determination of defects by diffraction and scattering.
