Scientist Soft X-ray Coherent X-ray Imaging

Lunds universitet grundades 1666 och har under flera år rankats omkring de 100 bästa universiteten i världen. Här finns 42 000 studenter och drygt 7 500 medarbetare i Lund, Helsingborg och Malmö. Vi förenas i vår strävan att förstå, förklara och förbättra vår värld och människors villkor.

MAX IV Laboratory has operated successfully for more than 25 years and is currently building the new MAX IV synchrotron facility in Lund.
More than 1000 scientists from Sweden and the rest of the world are coming to the MAX IV Laboratory every year to use the x-rays produced by our electron accelerators. They do research in areas such as materials science, structural biology, chemistry, and nanotechnology. 180 people are currently employed at the MAX IV Laboratory. MAX IV is the largest and most ambitious Swedish investment in national research infrastructure. It will be the brightest source of x-rays worldwide when inaugurated 2016 and will replace the existing laboratory, which today consists of the storage ring MAX I, II and III. MAX IV Laboratory is hosted by Lund University.



A total of 14 beamlines are now funded at the MAX IV facility.

One of these is SoftiMAX which will be a soft x-ray imaging beamline with two branches, located at the new MAX IV 3 GeV ring. It will feature two experimental stations, one for scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM) and one for coherent x-ray imaging (CXI), including holography, ptychography and other coherence methods. The scope of the beamline is to enable imaging applications in diverse fields ranging from magnetism and soft matter, to environmental and biomedical applications.
