A celebratory morning tea was held to mark to formal opening of OPAL-X: the new X-ray facilities, consisting of X-ray Reflectometry and Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (shown at the right with Federation Fellow, Prof. Jill Trewhella, and Bragg Institute Head, Rob Robinson).
These 2 new state-of-the-art facilities, which are unique in the Sydney Basin, complement the equivalent neutron instruments, PLATYPUS and QUOKKA which are almost immediately adjacent, within the same building.
The Bragg Institute will be one of only 2 institutions in the world with such complementary x-ray and neutron facilities on the same site.
