<p style="margin: 6px 0px 12px;" class="">The 24-ID-C beamline can deliver X-rays in the range of 6 to 21 keV or ~2.1 to 0.5 Å. This covers most of the popular elemental edges for phasing. This wide energy-range also makes the beamline well suited for ultra
high-resolution data collection and soft X-ray sulfur SAD phasing. The beamline is equipped with an optional kappa goniometer for optimal alignment of crystals. A Pixel Array Detector (PAD), Pilatus-6MF, installed on the 24-ID-C beamline helps measure very
weak Bragg reflection intensities due to its noise-less readout technology and also provides a very fast data collection capability in shutter-less data collection mode.<br class="">
</p>
<p style="margin: 6px 0px 12px;" class="">The 24-ID-E beamline is a fixed energy microdiffraction beamline delivering X-rays at 12.66 keV, optimized for Se-SAD experiments. It is equipped with a CCD-based ADSC Quantum 315 detector.<br class="">
<br class="">
Both beamlines are equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation to handle advanced data collection methods. MD2 microdiffractometers installed at both beamlines provide very clean beams from 5 microns to 100 microns in diameter and have exceptional sample
visualization systems capable of visualizing micron-sized crystals with extreme clarity.</p>
