High Throughput NEXAFS System

An inline high throughput NEXAFS chamber has been constructed upstream on the Imaging branchline. This chamber allows for batching of multiple samples for automatic scanning. The system is built for samples that are not compatible with ultra-high vacuum (samples can be scanned at a pressure of 10-6 mbar) and is ideal for beam sensitive samples.
