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 Spring 2026
The next proposal call will open between September 10 and September 24, 2025 at 14:00 CET, and cover the beamtime period March 2026 to June 2026. It is always a good idea to contact the beamline staff with questions about the SoftiMAX beamline or techniques when preparing a proposal.
SoftiMAX is funded through Vetenskapsrådet and saw first light in March 2020.
