Experimental Station 13-1

Beam line 13-1 is a side-station on an elliptical undulator beam line that is dedicated for scanning transmission x-ray spectro-microscopy of magnetic materials. The endstation is equipped with a STXM microscope that provides 30 nm spatial resolution and a fast Avalanche photodiode that allows for time resolved pump probe experiments with 50 ps temporal resolution.
