Save the Date – XTOP 2026

16th Conference on High-Resolution X-ray Diffraction and Imaging
21–25 September 2026, Karlsruhe, Germany

XTOP is a historical conference series that began in 1992 in Marseille; the most recent edition was held in Carry-le-Rouet (France) in 2024.
Originally focused on X-ray topography and high-resolution diffraction, the conference has since broadened its scope to include related X-ray imaging, diffraction, and scattering methods.

The first day (21 September) will be devoted to a companion school with tutorial lectures, primarily aimed at students and newcomers to the field.
