| Additional notes | Beamline 3.2.1 is used for LIGA, a german language acronym Lithographie, Galvanoformung, Abformung (Lithography, Electroplating, and Moulding) that describes a fabrication technology used to create high-aspect-ratio (HAR) microstructures. The beamline is also used to develop other synchrotron techniques including X-ray Footprinting, which is moving to beamline 3.3.1. |
