Schematic lay-out of the ID18 beamline and the ID18F user end-station
ID18F is situated in the third experimental hutch of the ID18 Nuclear Resonance Beamline and uses its 3 undulators and high heatload fixed exit double crystal Si(111) monochromator to create a tunable monochromatic excitation beam in the 6-28 keV energy range.
| Scientific applications: | Scanning X-ray Fluorescence Microscopy and Microdiffraction (WAXS & SAXS) |
| Micro-focusing elements: | Compound refractive lenses (CRL) Size of the focused beam (V x H): 1.5 microns x 12 microns |
| Detectors: | Si(Li) detector Si photodiodes, ionization chamber High resolution CCD camera 2D diffraction CCD camera |
| Beamline control: | SUN (Solaris) Ultra-Sparc 5, SPEC control software for optics and experimental setup with TCP/IP network connection in experimental hutches |
During each experimental run 65-70 shifts (1 shift=8 hours) in 2/3 or uniform filling mode is allocated for user experiments. The application for measurement time is the standard ESRF procedure.
