Methods and stations at BESSY II
HZB offers a large variety of methods and experimental techniques involving a multitude of experimental stations at BESSY II. Below there is an overview of methods with additional information on energy range and polarisation of the photon beam available. Users who are unsure about which is the most appropriate beamline or experimental station for their experiment should contact the User Office for help.
In addition, HZB offers the users the unique possibility for bringing their own equipment to several of the beamlines. Users should refer to the free photon beam list in order to find the appropriate beamline for the intended experiment. Please keep in mind to contact the beamline manager before handing in the proposal in order to discuss the details.
