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.
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.
