1.Outline
This station is mainly used for X-ray fluorescence analysis with X-ray (semi-) microbeam including ultra trace element analysis, chemical state analysis, and elemental and chemical state mapping. Since synchrotron X-ray fluorescence analysis is highly sensitive to trace elements and has non-destructive nature, it is suitable for the analysis of the biological, biomedical, environmental and geological samples. It is beneficial for materials science as well.
A constant exit double crystal monochromator is equipped for the experiments with monochromatic X-rays. The experimental hutch is located 13 m from the source point.
