We report on our achievement of successfully performing high-temporal-resolution 4D X-ray tomography of a living organism (a woodlouse) for the first time in the world, using a novel synchrotron multi-beam imaging system. We were able to capture the flow of gas from the foregut to the mouth, a phenomenon not previously reported. By using this imaging system, it is possible to visualize non-repeatable, and non-equilibrium phenomena in 4D with high temporal resolution, and various ripple effects are expected, ranging from academic research to industrial applications.
