The experimental station is an in-house design, tailored to the specific needs of ForMAX’s user community. A key feature of ForMAX is the combination of full-field tomography and (scanning) SWAXS. In order to provide flexibility in terms of the different complementary experimental techniques, the experimental station is built around a single experimental table, with tomography microscope/cameras and SWAXS detectors added in a modular manner. This allows efficient switching between different modes of operation, allowing combined full-field tomography and (scanning) SWAXS experiments in a sequential manner. Technical details are briefly described in menu to the left and in more detail in the beamline paper.
