Beam line 7-3 is a wiggler side-station dedicated for x-ray absorption spectroscopy and EXAFS measurements on dilute biological systems. BL7-3 is equipped with a 30-element Ge solid-state detector in addition to ionization chambers and Lytle/PIPS detectors. A dedicated LHe cryostat allows for routine low temperature measurements. The unfocused beam on BL7-3 is ideal for samples especially susceptible to radiation damage, such as high-valent intermediates and other oxidized species.
