Description

32-ID supports three main techniques: monochromatic full-field imaging, white beam full-field imaging and transmission x-ray microscope. There are two experimental stations, 32-ID-B at ~37 m from the source and 32-ID-C at ~70 m from the source. Both stations are capable of white or monochromatic beams. The TXM and the monochromatic full-field imaging is housed in 32-ID-C while the white beam full-field imaging is housed in 32-ID-B. Phase and/or absorption contrast is available for all techniques.    Beamline optics consists of a Kohzu double-crystal monochromator (Si(111)) in the FOE and a 3 stripe (Si, Rh, Cr) double mirror in the B station that can be moved in/out of the monochromatic beam.
