Beamline 2-ID-D: Sector 2 Microfluorescence and Diffraction

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

Description

Beamline 2-ID-D is devoted to sub-micron high-resolution x-ray imaging studies. Most work on the beamline centers on flouresence analysis of biological samples and microdiffraction of a variety of materials.

Supported Techniques

Microfluorescence (hard x-ray)

Microdiffraction

Micro X-ray absorbtion fine structure

Beamline Controls and Data Acquisition

The beamline is run with Sun workstations (UNIX/Solaris) using various EPICS-based applications.

Detectors

Silicon drift detector
Ionization chambers
Large area CCD
NaI scintillation detector
X-ray alignment camera

Additional Equipment

Newport kappa diffractometer
Optical table with 6 degrees of freedom
Scanning microprobes
