SALSA, a neutron strain imager
Mapping residual stresses in actual engineering components is very important for industry. Using neutrons it is possible to study non- destructively metal and composite parts from just a few millimetres to over a metre in size.

Portfolio 4: SALSA, a neutron strain imager (2016)
This 80m-long pinhole-geometry instrument for small-angle neutron scattering (the longest in the world) is designed for the study of large- scale structures in soft matter systems, chemistry, biology, solid-state physics and materials science. The sample is placed in the beam in the bottom right-hand corner of the photo. The two- dimensional detector is in the yellow vacuum tube and can be moved from close to the sample up to the far end, allowing measurement of distances in samples from 1 to 100 nm.
