Abstract
　　In recent years two types of novel slit systems, the so called conical slit cell and the spiral slit system, have been developped at the ESRF. In combination with a large area detector with fast readout and a microfocussed high energy synchrotron beam dynamic in-situ texture and strain measurements became feasible.
　　The talk will focus in particular on the texture and strain investigation of solid Al torsion samples, using the conical slit cell. The capabilities of the spiral slit system will be demonstrated by its application to the studies of dissimilar friction stir welds.

　　In the second part an overview will be given of the new high energy materials science beamline of GKSS at the HASYLAB which is presently under construction. In an outlook the planned experimental setups in the field of tomography and diffraction will be described.
