Available Labscale Instruments

Instrument Facility Status Description Techniques Energy range q-range Access
Customized labscale instrument (based on Bruker Nanostar and SAXSLAB components) CFN at BNL Running This labscale rotating-anode instrument is available to users. Of course a labscale instrument will not have the flux or resolution of a synchrotron beamline; nevertheless this instrument is optimized for resolution, while providing sufficient flux for measuring strongly scattering systems (e.g. nanoparticles). The sample environment is under vacuum, and offers both transmission-mode and grazing-incidence stages. Contact Dmytro Nykypanchuk or Kevin Yager for details. SAXS, WAXS, GISAXS, GIWAXS 8.04 keV 0.005 Å−1 to 0.3 Å−1 (up to ~2 Å−1 using image plate). Available through CFN user program.

Past Synchrotron Beamlines

The following beamlines are no longer available. However, they are retained for historical reference.

Beamline Facility Status Description Techniques Energy range q-range Access
X9 NSLS at BNL Decommissioned in Sept. 2014 X9 is an undulator-based (high-flux) and high-resolution beamline that can perform transmission and grazing-incidence scattering across a wide q-range (simultaneous SAXS/WAXS possible).
