MICRODIFFRACTION AT THE NE-CAT BEAMLINES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 由于我们的用户社区越来越多地要求能够对小于20-30微米的晶体进行衍射实验，NE-CAT已经在24-ID-E光束线上实现了微衍射设施。现在，我们能够提供小至5微米的稳定X射线束，可以根据样品的尺寸进行定制，以减少散射污染和背景。这项工作已经进行了一年多，并产生了一些独特的结构，否则是不可能的。这一运行安装已导致满足我们的一个主要核心1的目标，提供第一个微衍射设施在美国。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Due to increasing demand from our user community to be able carry out diffraction experiments with crystals smaller than 20-30 microns, NE-CAT has implemented a microdiffraction facility at 24-ID-E beamline. Now, we are able to deliver stable X-ray beams as small as 5 microns that can be tailored to dimensions of the samples in order to reduce scattering contamination and background. This has been operational for over a year now and has resulted in some unique structures, which otherwise would not have been possible. This operating installation has resulted in meeting one of our major Core 1 goals of providing the first microdiffraction facility in the US.
