Beamline 2-ID-E: 2-ID-E Microprobe

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

Description

Station 2-ID-E houses an x-ray fluorescence microprobe with XRF tomography and XRF laminography capability at submicron resolution

 

Supported Techniques

  • Microfluorescence
  • Tomography
  • Laminography
  • Ptychography

Beamline Controls and Data Acquisition

The beamline is run using LINUX workstations using various EPICS-based applications. A user interface allows simple operation for users with little prior beamline experience. Custom software MAPS and XRF-Maps allows analysis of full fluorescence spectra at each pixel.

Detectors

  • Silicond Drift Detectors Vortex ME7 (7 element)
  • Ionization chambers
  • Eiger 500

Additional Equipment

  • Leica DMXRE Epi-fluorescence microscope
  • X-ray alignment camera
