Please review the following SOPs for MEX2 before your beamtime. These SOPs will guide you through changing sample rulers when running under “vacuum”, venting the user chamber at MEX2, and operating the software.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact beamline scientists Dr. Bruce Cowie (brucec@ansto.gov.au) and Dr. Negin Foroughimehr (foroughn@ansto.gov.au).
