Attention! The catalysis cell is currently unavailable for users. The high-temperature cell offers the same capabilities (and a lot more).

The Catalysis / general purpose AP cell enables photoemission measurements on catalytic and surface science type systems at mbar pressures. For the time-resolved APXPS please check Time-resolved APXPS page
