Beamline 2-ID-D: Microfluorescence and Bionanoprobe

X-ray Science Division, APS
Life Sciences, Materials Science, Environmental Science, Chemistry

Description

Beamline 2-ID-D houses two main instruments: the X-ray Fluorescence Microprobe for sub-micron X-ray imaging, which focuses on in-situ micro-XFM and micro-XANES analyses, and the Bionanoprobe, which is designed for XFM-mapping, XFM-tomography, XANES, and ptychography at both room temperature and in cryogenic conditions.

 

Supported Techniques

  • X-ray fluorescence micro/nanoprobe
  • X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM)
  • X-ray fluorescence tomography
  • Ptychography
  • X-ray absorption near-edge structure

Beamline Controls and Data Acquisition

The beamline is run with Linux and Windows workstations using various EPICS-based applications.
