Designed and constructed by researchers in the MRL X-ray Facility, the new SAXS spectrometer became available to users in fall of 2000. By utilizing a high intensity x-ray source, state-of-the-art x-ray optics and detectors, the SAXS instrument provides cutting edge capabilities for probing large lengthscale structures such as polymers, biological macromolecules, meso- and nano-porous materials, and molecular self-assemblies. Background scattering is minimized through the use of a 3-meter fully evacuated flight path (including sample chamber) and vacuum compatible motorized slits. The spectrometer has a 600 angstrom small angle resolution in the typical set up, but can be reconfigured for different resolution due to its modular design and construction.
