Lynx X

Extended absorption to determine local structure

This device is an enhanced version of LynX A, with motorized spectrometer parts that allows you to seamlessly acquire large enough absorption scans, or switch between edges automatically. It is based on the von Hámos arrangement, but offers you the comfort and flexibility you are used to at the best synchrotron beamlines.
