Overview
Beam line 6-2b is a wiggler end-station dedicated to micro-focus High Resolution Hard X-ray Spectroscopy using polycapillaries and micro computed tomography. High-Energy Resolution Fluorescence Detected X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (HERFD-XAS) is performed in a dedicated He environment, with 3 rows of 5 analyzer crystals.
