More than one hundred years ago, Lucien Bull showed, by means of his famous high-speed cinematographic movies of living species, the outstanding scientific value of time-resolved imaging, e.g. to understand the mechanisms behind insect flight [1]. For X-ray imaging, synchrotron light sources offer a photon beam that (i) propagates quasi-parallel, (ii) has fluxes that are higher by orders of magnitude than laboratory sources, and (iii) allows one to exploit more sophisticated contrast modalities. The use of synchrotron light is thus the next step in fast-imaging development: high-speed hard X-ray cineradiography employing phase contrast mechanisms [2,3]. Imaging with X-rays offers the chance to investigate complex kinematics of, for example, feeding and locomotion devices of animals, as the penetrating nature of the radiation reveals internal information.
