Lynx A

Our entry level solution

This device provides you with quick XANES scans using a fixed setup. It exploits the main advantage of the von Hámos arrangement, which permits us to record a large enough energy window(200–300 eV) around the required edge. The analyser and the detector sit on a rigid exchangeable plate that keeps them at the proper geometry needed for XANES. Changing the investigated edge is as simple as changing a plate on the table!
