• optical hutch: X rays are tailored to fit the needs of the experiment, Focusing (H&V), Energy selection
• control hutch: All Beamline control systems are located here
• experimental hutch: The sample environments & detectors for PX & SAXS experiments are located here
• sample prep lab: A user lab equipped for sample handling is adjacent to the beamline

Beam characteristics:

• Energy Range: 6.5 - 17 keV   (1.90 - 0.73 A)
• Optimal flux around Se K edge (12.6 keV)
• Typical PX focal spot at sample position: 200 x 400 microns (HxV)

Available techniques:

PX

BM16 is rapidly and easily tunable and has an optical configuration specifically designed to facillitate anomalous diffraction experiments.The avaliable energy range covers most commonly used K and L edges (from the Mn K edge to the U LIII edge).

 SAXS/WAXS

A generic station for Non-Crystalline Diffraction techniques encompassing both SAXS & WAXS regimes.

The SAXS detector (MARCCD 165) can be positioned up to 6 meter from the sample position in order to access ~1000 Angtsroem d-spacing resolution.

The WAXS detector is mounted on a 2Theta circle at  ~300-400 mm distance.
