What's New?
- 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)
- Automatic sample changer (IRELEC CATS) available at all beamlines
- X06SA: pilatus 6m pixel detector and micro-diffractometer
- X06DA: better focusing 80x45 microns, higher flux 5 x10¹¹ photons/
sec, and in-situ diffraction screening
- X10SA: accepting proposal for single crystal UV-Vis and Raman
spectroscopy studies
X06SA Beamline features:
- PILATUS 6M pixel detector available for user operation at High
Resolution Diffractometer. 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 <http://www.dectris.com/> for further information
- mar225 CCD installed at Micro-Diffractometer MD2. This MAD-
compatible diffractometer allows for data collection with a focussed
beam size of 25 x 5 micrometers, and down to 10 x 5 micrometer using
an aperture.
- Automatic sample changer (IRELEC CATS) with SPINE pucks, vials, and
caps (MOLECULAR DIMENSIONS) on HRD.
- http://sls.web.psi.ch/view.php/beamlines/px/index.html
X06DA Beamline features:
- fully tunable from 6.0 to 17.5 keV (2.07 - 0.71 Å)
- 5x10¹¹ photons/sec at sample position
- 80x45 microns focused beam
- MAR225 CCD detector
- Mini-hutch design for fast manual mounting
- Automatic sample changer (IRELEC CATS) with SPINE pucks, vials, and
caps (MOLECULAR DIMENSIONS).
- In-situ diffraction screening for beta-test users (please contact
Rouven Bingle-Erlenmeyer or Vincent Olieric)
- http://sls.web.psi.ch/view.php/beamlines/px3/index.html
X10SA Beamline features:
- limited beamtime available for single crystal UV-Vis and Raman
spectroscopy (c.f. R.Owen, et al., JSR, (2009), 16, 173)
- PILATUS 6M pixel detector
- Automatic sample changer (IRELEC CATS) with SPINE pucks, vials, and
caps (MOLECULAR DIMENSIONS)
