Experiments | SAXS, SOLUTION STUDIES |
Experiments Details | From its inception (October 1997) until it was refurbished in 2002 this was a tuneable beamline (0.93 - 1.44 A). Since January 2003 it has been a fixed wavelength beamline. The beamline has since been re-built from an MX to a bio-SAXS beamline with user operations successfuly started in November 2008. In December 2011 the Bio-SAXS set-up will move to BM29. It will be available for users in June 2012. |
