Recent progress in high-power pulsed neutron sources has stimulated the development of the Bragg-dip and Bragg-edge analysis methods using a two-dimensional neutron detector with high temporal resolution to resolve the neutron energy by the time-of-flight method. The delay-line current-biased kinetic-inductance detector (CB-KID) is a two-dimensional superconducting sensor with a high temporal resolution and multi-hit capability. We demonstrate that the delay-line CB-KID with a 10B neutron conversion layer can be applied to high-spatial-resolution neutron transmission imaging and spectroscopy up to 100\,eV. Dip structures in the transmission spectrum induced by Bragg diffraction and nuclear resonance absorption in YbSn3 single crystals. We successfully drew the orientation mapping of YbSn3 crystals based on the analysis of observed Bragg-dip positions in the transmission spectrum.
