Beamline 10.3.2

X-Ray Fluorescence Microprobe (XFM)

    Current statusNot operational; not open to general users
    ALS-U Status

    This beamline will close at the start of the ALS-U dark time and will remain closed after the ALS upgrade. Significantly enhanced capabilities for tender spectromicroscopy will be offered at the new tender x-ray beamline planned at 8.0. For more information, see ALS-U Beamline Impacts and other ALS-U web pages.
