 i.de \n \nMagnetic lens-based proton microscopy is a unique and powerful 
 diagnostic technique capable of resolving ultra-fast processes on the nano
 second scale in dense matter with unprecedented micrometer spatial resolut
 ion. Designed\, constructed\, and commissioned at the GSI Helmholtz Center
  for Heavy Ion Research\, the PRIOR-II proton microscopy facility pushes t
 he technical boundaries of this imaging technique to the absolute limits. 
 This enables experiments on ultra-fast shock wave propagation for high-ene
 rgy density (HED) fundamental physics applications and materials science.\
 nUnlike other facilities\, PRIOR-II has the unique capability of imaging u
 sing heavier ions (tested with up to 975MeV/u 12C6+ and up to 1.5GeV/u 14N
 7+). Detailed studies on the enhancement of density contrast through the u
 se of heavy ions have also led to improvements in the underlying scatterin
 g theory used for radiographic density reconstruction. Besides heavy ion i
 maging efforts\, the Los Alamos National Lab and GSI are also investigatin
 g other means of improving scientific data quality with this technique\, s
 uch as developing semi-achromatic or fully achromatic imaging setups.\nThe
  PRIOR-II facility at GSI is currently undergoing a transition to enable h
 igh explosive driven high-energy density (HED) physics and materials scien
 ce experiments on shock-compressed matter at extreme densities up to 100 g
 igapascals (GPa)\, and to serve as a new user facility for the HED communi
 ty. First experiments will study shock compaction as an approach to large-
 scale\, high-pressure material synthesis and planetary defense application
 s. Once the shock-wave capability is fully developed and available\, a bro
 ader research program on matter under extreme conditions\, driven by GSI p
 lasma physics and external users\, is planned.\n\nhttps://indico.gsi.de/ev
