I22: SAXS/WAXS beamline at Diamond Light Source – an overview of 10 years operation

Beamline I22 at Diamond Light Source is dedicated to the study of soft-matter systems from both biological and materials science. The beamline can operate in range 3.7 keV 22 for transmission SAXS 14 20 microfocus with beam sizes 240 µm × 60 [full width half-maximum (FWHM) horizontal (H) vertical (V)] sample main beamline, approximately 10 microfocusing platform. There a versatile platform accommodating facilities user-developed environments. high brilliance insertion device source on allows structural investigation under extreme environments (for example, fluid flow pressures temperatures). provides reliable access millisecond data acquisition timescales, essential understanding kinetic processes such as protein folding or evolution polymers colloids.
