Experiments DetailsBeam line 7-3 is a wiggler side-station beam line dedicated for X-ray absorption spectroscopy and EXAFS measurements on dilute biological systems. BL7-3 is equipped with a 30-element Ge solid-state detector in addition to ionization chambers and Lytle detectors. A dedicated liq-He cryostat allows for routine low temperature measurements. The unfocused beam is ideal for samples especially susceptible to radiation damage, such as high-valent intermediates and other oxidized species.
