Fluorescence detector | Available | |||
Full remote operation | Available | see Manuals for more information |
* If a wavelength other than 18 keV is required, please make sure this is specified in the proposal note that this is the Zr edge so not ideal for zirconium containing samples. Please contact beamline staff to discuss if unsure.
Equipment or Component | Availability |
Comments |
4-circle diffractometer & Eiger2 4M CdTe detector |
Available |
Late stage optimisation |
Energy range 5 - 25 keV |
Available |
~25 keV is the standard set-up* |
Pilatus 300K detector |
Available |
This detector will only be used for specific experiments where a wavelength below 15 keV is required ** |
Fluorescence detector | Available | on prior arrangement with beamline staff |
Time-resolved equipment | Available | Use of the Tristan detector should be considered late commissioning work |
In-situ ruby fluorescence spectrometer | Available | Only for use with gas-membrane cells and on prior arrangement with beamline staff |
* If a wavelength other than ~25 keV is required please ensure this is specified in the proposal - note that this is the Ag edge so not appropriate for silver containing samples. Please contact beamline staff to discuss if unsure.
** The Pilatus 300K has been replaced by the Eiger 4M CdTe detector for general use, but is retained for any special requests by prior arrangement with beamline staff.
Cryostream for EH1 |
Available |
80 - 500K |
Helix for EH1 | Available | 30 - 300K |
Cryostream for EH2 | Available | 80 - 500K |
Helix for EH2 | Available | 30 - 300K |
Hot air blower for EH2 | Available on request | Up to 1300K |
Cryostat for EH2 diffractometer | Available | Down to 5K* |
Open flow helium device in EH2 | Available | 10 - 100K ** |
Gas cell in EH2 | Available | Discuss requirements for specific gases with beamline staff |
Diamond anvil cell in EH2 | Available | Up to 100 kBar |
Moderate pressure cell in EH2 | Available | Up to 1.5 kBar |
Heating stage for DAC in EH2 | Commissioning | Up to 600K |
Please discuss your sample environment requirements with beamline staff before submitting a proposal as some require significant set-up time or booking from central resources.
*The use of the cryostat should be discussed with beamline staff ahead of any proposal being submitted. It's use imposes some restrictions on data collection scans.
** The open-flow He device is a tricky beast to use with any degree of control!
