The design and evaluation experiments of a multibeam X-ray tomography optical system that can be used with synchrotron radiation from sources with a narrow energy bandwidth, i.e. undulator sources, are reported. It consists of silicon single crystals that diffract the incident X-rays to 27 beams, which are used to image a sample. The energy of the beams was aligned with an accuracy sufficient for use at typical undulator beamlines. Projection images of a test sample were collected and successfully reconstructed, showing the feasibility of a high-speed X-ray tomography instrument based on the optical system.
