Welcome to the homepage of the 20-ID High-Energy X-ray Microscope (HEXM) beamline. This beamline is operated by the Materials Physics and Engineering Group as part of the X-ray Science Division, and is one of the two 'long' beamlines constructed as part of the APS-Upgrade. Using energies between 35-120keV, it will enable imaging of the fine structures of materials with high resolution and under a host of controllable conditions. Studies here will reveal minute defects in materials as they form, helping to improve the durability of components ranging from aircraft engines to solar cells. All beamlines are shutdown for ~year 2023-24 for the APS Upgrade, check here for APS-U updates. |
