This article presents a novel approach that spatially identifies inhomogeneities from microscale (defects, con-formational disorder) to mesoscale (voids, inclusions) using synchrotron x-ray methods: tomography, Lang topography, and micro-diffraction mapping. These techniques provide a non-destructive method for characterization of mm-sized samples prior to shock experiments. These characterization maps can be used to correlate continuum level measurements in shock compression experiments to the mesoscale and microscale structure.
