Experimental Station 10-2a

Beam line 10-2 is a wiggler end-station that splits time between the front hutch (BL10-2a), which is instrumented for X-ray absorption spectroscopy imaging, and the rear hutch (BL10-2b), which has a dedicated 6-circle diffractometer that is used for materials scattering.  The front hutch utilizes a polycapillary focusing optic to provide a beam spot as small as ~10 microns.  Samples as large as 300 x 600 mm can be measured in one image, but larger samples can also be accommodated.  In addition, BL10-2 can be set up for confocal X-ray fluorescence using two polycapillary focusing optics to obtain information from different depths in a sample.
