MX 14.3
Macromolecular Crystallography 14.3 /7T-WLS-2
The MX 14.3 instrument is a fixed energy beamline (13.87 keV ) for macromolecular crystallography. This beamline can perform X-ray diffraction experiments of very small crystals down to 15 micrometers. This beamline has special equipment to perform X-ray diffraction experiments under controlled variation of crystal hydration. Please find in the table below the characteristic of beamline 14.3.
