BM01 - Diffraction Beamline

Swiss-Norwegian Beamline BM01
Single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (including high pressures) with multi-axis diffractometer and large area detector BM01 caters for high resolution single-crystal diffraction and powder diffraction for small molecule crystallography. It may also be used as general purpose diffraction beamline for reciprocal space mapping, and for macromolecular crystallography.
