The ASRP's new soft X-ray end station has been delivered to the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Centre in Hsinchu, Taiwan, where it is undergoing commissioning tests.
The end-station represents a major-step for Australian soft X-ray research, giving scientists access to superior nano-fabrication/preparation and characterization facilities while working either on, or off, one of seven potential beam-lines.
The end-station will be transferred to the soft X-ray beam line at the Australian Synchrotron in Melbourne once the beam-line is operational, which is expected to be in 2008 .
For more details on the soft X-ray end-station's capabilities and gaining beam-time at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Centre, please contact Anton Stampfl.
