Techniques and equipment

2 equipment types

  • X-ray & neutron

    beamline endstations for absorption and emission spectroscopy

  • Microscopy & imaging

    soft X-ray imaging and microscopy beamlines

  • X-ray & neutron

    vacuum-ultraviolet and soft X-ray beamlines

  • X-ray & neutron

    Beamline 12.2.2 provides powder, single-crystal and multigrain XRD under non-ambient/extreme conditions; current page lists a 30 x 30 micrometre high-pressure single-crystal station and 5-15 micrometre powder-XRD station.

  • X-ray & neutron

    Beamline 8.3.1 provides protein/small-molecule crystallography and XRD from 5-17 keV with a Dectris Pilatus3 S 6M primary detector and robotic remote access.

  • X-ray & neutron

    The current ALS Beamline Directory is the authoritative beamline/endstation inventory and publishes energy ranges, operational status, techniques, sample information and contacts per beamline.

Registry scope evidence

  • ◇Source capability: vacuum-ultraviolet and soft X-rays.
  • ◇Sample scope: biological structures, environmental samples, polymers, magnetic nanostructures, molecules, solids, proteins and macromolecules.
  • ◇Access model: peer-reviewed General User Proposal; rapid/industry/discretionary routes also documented.
  • ◇Availability note: facility operating schedule and beamline availability must be checked for each cycle.
  • ◇Official-source, facility-specific instrument evidence is available. Current configuration, availability, price, and project fit require confirmation.
