NSLS-II

NSLS-II, a DOE Basic Energy Sciences (BES) Scientific User Facility located at Brookhaven National Laboratory, is providing limited access to the X-ray Fluorescence Microprobe (XFM) Beamline through a partnership with EMSL and JGI. XFM provides characterization of elemental abundances and chemical speciation in heterogeneous samples.  It is optimized for spatially-resolved spectroscopy (EXAFS & XANES) in the 4 - 20 keV energy range, and also offers a polychromatic "pink" mode ideal for rapid 2D and 3D fluorescence imaging and tomography. It employs compound focusing to achieve a user-tunable spot size from 2 to 10 microns while maintaining a long working distance for physically large samples and custom in situ environmental cells.

*NEW* Through a 2.5-day, hands-on training workshop at NSLS-II on March 18-20, 2020, researchers have a unique opportunity to learn more about applying tender-energy, spatially resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence imaging to their current or proposed projects.  Participants are encouraged to bring their own samples and utilize this time to explore the capabilities of the instrument.

For more details about the scheduled activities or about applying the XFM to your FICUS proposal, please contact Ryan Tappero and refer to the XFM website. To register: Contact Vivian Stojanoff at stojanof@bnl.gov, or 631-344-8375.
