BL4-2
Beam line 4-2 is a small-angle scattering/diffraction station dedicated to structural biology studies primarily on non-crystalline systems. The instrument features a standard pin-hole geometry SAXS camera with an adjustable sample-to-detector distance from 0.25 m to 3.5 m in discreet steps. This allows optimizing the instrument according to experimental needs. A Pilatus3 X 1M is the primary detector, featuring a large active area, photon counting x-ray detection and a 500-Hz maximum frame rate which also enables fast time-resolved studies.
