SoftiMAX is a soft X-ray beamline, dedicated to spectromicroscopy and coherent imaging. The beamline will operate in the photon energy range between 275 eV and 2.5 keV and have two branch lines: one for STXM and Ptychography with a sub-100 nm focus, and one modular line for coherent techniques that require a larger beam size. Only the first branch is available at this time.
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.
In 2024, SoftiMAX will host the SOPHIE end-station from the Swiss Light Source, which also features STXM and ptychography. It will be available for general users, instead of the regular SoftiMAX STXM end-station. Please see the Experimental station page for more information.
SoftiMAX is funded through Vetenskapsrådet.
