The beam steering multilayer

last modified 04-12-2007 18:10

	large angle deflection (5.5°) for sufficient physical separation of the two branches multilayer can match the bandwidth of the undulator idea of using both microscopes simultaneously carousel allows the device to be equipped with several multilayers to cover the whole energy from 3-7keV
Current equipment of the assembly: Ni and Si mirrors Ni-B₄C multilayer with variable d-spacing optimized for experiments at the Ca K-edge

Highlights: X-ray imaging: Phase contrast imaging of lipid membranes in solution; Nanochemical imaging of antimalarial drugs in Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells; X-rays reveal an unfinished self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn; more
