The crystallography beamline I711 at MAX II

A new X-ray crystallographic beamline is operational at the MAX II synchrot ron in Lund. The beamline has been in regular use since August 1998 and is used both for macro- and small molecule diffraction as well as powder diffr action experiments. The radiation source is a 1.8 T multipole wiggler. The beam is focused vertically by a bendable mirror and horizontally by an asym metrically cut Si(111) monochromator. The wavelength range is 0.8-1.55 Angs trom with a measured flux at 1 Angstrom of more than 10(11) photons s(-1) i n 0.3 mm x 0.3 mm at the sample position. The station is currently equipped with a Mar345 imaging plate, a Bruker Smart 1000 area CCD detector and a H uber imaging-plate Guinier camera. An ADSC 210 area CCD detector is planned to be installed during 2000.
