A perfect Si monochromator placed in the cold neutron beam of the BER II reactor at the Hahn-Meitner-Institute provides a highly monochromatic beam. The ratio Δ λ / λ is in the range of a few percent for a wavelength λ = 0.45 nm that is fulfilling the Bragg condition for the asymmetric reflection. Although the resulting flux density is low i.e. approximately 5 × 103 cm−2s−1 this beam has advantages for special radiography and tomography applications. On one hand the effect of beam hardening can be avoided and hence a better sensitivity concerning slight density differences can be achieved. On the other hand the irradiation of samples can be reduced compared to high flux instruments in spite of the fact that the exposure time is necessarily increased. The spatial resolution of the instrument can be given with 125 µ m in horizontal respectively 200 µ m in vertical direction. Some examples of successful applications will be given.
