Beamlines by Technique

BioXAS-Spectroscopy

BioXAS Spectroscopy is a set of two beamlines specifically designed to measure the XAS spectra of transition elements in bulk biological samples with diluted concentrations.


BMIT - Biomedical Imaging and Therapy Facility

The BMIT facility consists of two beamlines (low-energy BMIT-BM and high-energy BMIT-ID beamline). It is dedicated to imaging of biological tissues and radiation therapy research. New instruments are successfully applied for general-purpose X-ray microtomography and imaging of fast processes.


Far-IR - Far Infrared Spectroscopy

Far-IR provides infrared light 100 – 1000 times brighter than standard laboratory sources, allowing the spectroscopic study of molecules with much higher precision and sensitivity.


Mid-IR - Mid Infrared Spectromicroscopy

Mid-IR provides a state-of-the-art Fourier Transform IR spectrometer and microscope to supply diffraction-limited spatial resolution to an ever-widening range of experimental configurations. Research and development will explore new experiments and re-examine existing techniques by applying the advantages of high brightness infrared synchrotron light.


SM - Soft X-ray Spectromicroscopy

SM supports research programs ranging from polymer science, environmental science, and biological applications to novel material design and magnetic imaging.


VESPERS - Very Sensitive Elemental and Structural Probe Employing Radiation from a Synchrotron

VESPERS is a hard X-ray microprobe beamline capable of providing a high level of complementary structural and analytical information.
