What's New?
- SLS PX software (DA+) in all three beamlines
- X06SA New diffractometer with on-axis microscope and fast camera
- X06DA Multi-axis goniometer (PRIGO)
- X06DA In-situ X-ray diffraction screening for any SBS format plate
- X10SA Micro-beam with apertures (10 x 10, 30 x 30 micron^2)
- Faster Sample changer (CATS) operation
- Undulator beamline with flux of 2x10^12 photons/sec at 12.4 keV (1Å) and fully tunable from 6.0 to 17.5 keV (2.07 - 0.71 Å)
- Focused beam size and divergency: HRD - 85x10 microns and 0.35x0.06 mrad; MD2 - 25x5 microns and 0.5x0.4 mrad
- PILATUS 6M pixel detector at the High Resolution Diffractometer, allowing continuous, fine phi-sliced data acquisition (25 frames per second) with 20 bit dynamic range (see
http://pilatus.web.psi.ch/ or
www.dectris.com for further information)
- MAR225 CCD at Micro-Diffractometer MD2, allowing data collection with a focussed beam size of 25 x 5 micrometers, and smaller beam size with triple-aperture assembly ( 5 x 5, 10 x 10, 20 x 20 micrometer).
- Super-bending magnet beamline with flux of 5x10¹¹ photons/sec at 12.4 keV (1Å) and fully tunable from 6.0 to 17.5 keV (2.07 - 0.71 Å)
- Focused beam size and divergency: 80x45 microns and 2x0.5 mrad (with possibility to reduce horizontal divergency to 0.4 mrad)
- Mini-hutch design for fast manual mounting
- PILATUS 2M (60 Hz, 450 um Si sensor)
- Multi-axis goniometer (PRIGO) for crystal re-orientation
- New phasing protocols with energy interleaving and multi-orientation strategy"
- In-situ X-ray diffraction screening (with any SBS format plate) available during users shifts (R. Bingel-Erlenmeyer, et al., Crystal Growth & Design 2011, 11, 916)
- Undulator beamline with flux of 2x10^12 photons/sec at 12.4 keV (1Å) and fully tunable from 6.0 to 20 keV (2.07 - 0.62 Å)
- Focused beam size and divergency: 50x10 microns and 0.6x0.1 mrad
- Micro-beam with apertures (10 x 10, 30 x 30 micrometer)
- PILATUS 6M pixel detector
