End Stations
End station one (hutch B)
End station one has been optimised to accommodate capillary measurements under a range of sample environments. This end station is well suited to time-resolved and in situ experiments as well as more traditional powder diffraction geometries and experiments.
Â
End station two (hutch C)
End station two has been designed to carry out experiments using non-standard sample stages, a 2D detector, and those requiring longer setup times. Typical experiments that are carried out in this end station include battery charge and discharge cycling, high-pressure studies and user-developed sample environments.Â
