ID01 - Nano/ Microdiffraction Imaging Beamline

ID01 is an X-ray diffraction and scattering beamline devoted to the study of a wide variety of materials, from nanostructures to bulk, with the ability to perform imaging and strain studies using coherent X-ray diffraction methods and/or scanning nanodiffraction as well as full field diffraction microscopy. An article describing the beamline in detail for the user community can be found here.
