MYSTIIC

MYSTIIC@EMIL

MYSTIIC (Microscope for x-raY Scanning Transmission In-situ Imaging of Catalysts), the new soft X-ray STXM at EMIL, allows spectromicroscopic imaging in the energy range from 250eV to 1500eV with a spatial resolution of 25nm. Note: Performance at Carbon K-edge is subject to upcoming mirror cleaning and cannot be guaranteed. Please contact the beamline scientist to discuss experimental details prior to proposal submission.

Selected Applications:
  • X-ray microscopy
  • Nanospectroscopy for energy research
  • NEXAFS imaging for environmental science
