SoftiMAX is a soft X-ray beamline, dedicated to spectromicroscopy and coherent imaging. The beamline operates in the photon energy range between 275 eV and 2.5 keV and has two branch lines: one for STXM and Ptychography with a sub-100 nm focus, and one modular line for coherent and full-field techniques that require a larger beam size (up to 20 micron).
Proposal call for Fall25
The next proposal call will open between February 12 and February 26, 2025 at 14:00 CET, and cover the beamtime period August 2025 to March 2026. If you are thinking of applying, but are not so familiar with the STXM technique, consider signing up for the online Info & Question session on Tue 18th of February (9 AM) – you can find more details here.
SoftiMAX is funded through Vetenskapsrådet and saw first light in March 2020.
