News:
- Possibility to combine beamtime at X06SA and X06DA, please indicate
your shift requests in the proposal (only one proposal needed on
either X06SA or X06DA)
- X10SA accepts proposals for combined single crystal diffraction and
UV-Vis, fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy studies (see R.Owen, et
al., JSR, 2009, 16, 173)
- Automatic sample changer (IRELEC CATS) with SPINE pucks, vials, and
caps (MOLECULAR DIMENSIONS) available at all beamline (except on the
MD2). Only day time (9:00~23:00) operation is supported. Please inform
your local contact in advance if you want to use it.
X06SA Beamline features:
- 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 - 5x25 microns and 0.5x0.4 mrad
- PILATUS 6M pixel detector at the High Resolution Diffractometer,
allowing continuous, fine phi-sliced data acquisition (12.5 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 down to 10 x 5
micrometer using an aperture.

X06DA Beamline features:
- 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
- MAR225 CCD detector
- In-situ diffraction screening (please contact Vincent Olieric)

X10SA Beamline features:
- 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
- In-situ on-axis single crystal UV-Vis, fluorescence, Raman and
Resonance Raman microspectrophotometer
- PILATUS 6M pixel detector
