The platform combines the XFEL beam with the high-intensity short-pulse laser ReLaX and the high-energy nanosecond-pulse laser DiPOLE-100X. The spatial resolution is better than 500 nm and the temporal resolution of the order of 50 fs. The influence of the XFEL source in the x-ray imaging method is discussed. Free-propagation x-ray phase contrast imaging and Talbot-Lau imaging setups are shown. We show examples of blast waves and converging cylindrical shocks in aluminum, resonant absorption measurements of specific charged states in copper with ReLaX and planar shocks in polystyrene material generated by DiPOLE-100X. For the first time, we show the application of Talbot-Lau interferometry to convergent cylindrical shocks as well as resonant absorption processes. We also discuss the possibilities introduced by combining this imaging platform with a kJ-class laser.
