Characterizing the microstructure and deformation mechanism associated with the performances and properties of metallic materials is of great importance in understanding the microstructure-property relationship. The past few decades have witnessed the rapid development of characterization techniques from optical microscopy to electron microscopy, although these conventional methods are generally limited to the sample surface because of the intrinsic opaque nature of metallic materials. Advanced synchrotron radiation (SR) facilities can produce X-rays with strong penetrability and high spatiotemporal resolution, and thereby enabling the non-destructive visualization of full-field structural information in three dimensions. Tremendous endeavors were devoted to the 3rd generation SR over the past three decades, in which X-ray beams have been focused down to 100 nm. In this paper, recent progresses on SR-related characterization technologies were reviewed, with particular emphases on the fundamentals of synchrotron X-ray imaging and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, as well as their applications in the in situ observations of material preparation (e.g., in situ dendrite growth during solidification) and service under extreme environment (e.g., in situ mechanics). Future innovations toward next-generation SR and newly emerging SRbased technologies such as dark-field X-ray microscopy and Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging were also advocated.

“…SRµCT provides 3D reconstructions of the bone’s microstructure that are used to measure the size and arrangement of different features within the bone, such as the osteocyte lacunae 20 , 21 . Additionally, SRµCT is a densitometry technique, meaning the images provide information on the bone’s tissue mineral density (TMD) or mineralization.…”

Osteocytes locally remodel their surrounding tissue through perilacunar canalicular remodeling (PLR). During lactation, osteocytes remove minerals to satisfy the metabolic demand, resulting in increased lacunar volume, quantifiable with synchrotron X-ray radiation micro-tomography (SRµCT). Although the effects of lactation on PLR are well-studied, it remains unclear whether PLR occurs uniformly throughout the bone and what mechanisms prevent PLR from undermining bone quality. We used SRµCT imaging to conduct an in-depth spatial analysis of the impact of lactation and osteocyte-intrinsic MMP13 deletion on PLR in murine bone. We found larger lacunae undergoing PLR are located near canals in the mid-cortex or endosteum. We show lactation-induced hypomineralization occurs 14 µm away from lacunar edges, past a hypermineralized barrier. Our findings reveal that osteocyte-intrinsic MMP13 is crucial for lactation-induced PLR near lacunae in the mid-cortex but not for whole-bone resorption. This research highlights the spatial control of PLR on mineral distribution during lactation.
