This page provides a short guide to writing beamtime proposals for the IMBL beamline. It focuses on the technical aspects of applying to use IMBL, but also addresses some key points that will help in forming the science case.
How to justify the need for synchrotron?
Key words you’re looking for? E.g. spatial resolution, size of sample
How to calculate the amount of shifts to requested?
A “rule of thumb” time allowance for sample change over?
What do you expect to see in the experiment section?
Describe the samples
Are there hardware or accessory set-ups that must be identified?
