Soft X-ray Spectromicroscopy Beamline

Beamline Specifications

SOURCE: insertion device - an Elliptically Polarized Undulator (EPU) capable of fully rotatable linear as well as elliptically polarized light.

OPTICS: A plane or spherical grating with input and refocussing mirrors. The STXM focuses the soft X-ray light with a Fresnel zone plate.

 
PHOTON RANGE: 6 to 60 (100) Å  or
  250 (100) to 1900 eV

PHOTON FLUX: Pre-Zone Plate: 1014 in 50 micron.
  Post-Zone Plate: 108 in 50 nm.

RESOLUTION: E/DE = 8000.

CAPABILITIES

(i) Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM): Imaging, XAFS, Microspectroscopy (NEXAFS), operate in non-UHV environment, including liquids and ambient air.

(ii) Photoelectron Emission Microscopy (PEEM): Imaging, Microscopy, EXAFS, NEXAFS, operates in UHV only.

(iii) An absorption/ionization gas cell, for order filtering and for beam diagnostics.
