Beamline optics

The ForMAX beamline is equipped with two horizontally deflecting monochromators: either a “high-resolution” double crystal monochromator (FMB Oxford) or a “high-flux” double multilayer monochromator (Axilon). The former is the standard…

Experimental station

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….
