A new mechanical stage to perform in situ 3D imaging using synchrotron X-ray tomography is presented. Pairing control and acquisition allows the running of high quality continuous mechanical tests to study damage and fracture in any kind of structural materials. The modular design make this device very versatile with the possibility to use many specimen geometries and load ranges up to 5 kN, and switch within minutes from tomography to X-ray diffraction configurations. Examples of successful experiments to study the damage mechanisms with a technical polymer material are given.
