Overview
Transmission Hard X-ray Microscopy 56-pole, 0.9-Tesla Wiggler, 1.2 mrad Acceptance
Beam line 6-2c is a wiggler end-station dedicated to hard x-ray transmission x-ray microscopy. The BL6-2c back hutch houses a Transmission X-ray Microscope with 2D and 3D full field imaging and spectroscopic capabilities, with an instrument resolution down to 30 nm. It has specific capabilities for in-situ tomographic studies of catalytic processes including x-ray absorption spectroscopy.
