4W1B-Micro X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis Beamline

May 28, 2025

4W1B is a X-ray fluorescence microanalysis beamline and locates at No.12 experimental hall. It is based on a hard X-ray beamline with wiggler magnet and is dedicated to X ray micro-analysis in biology and material science, and ultra-trace elemental analysis. The incident X-ray energy is monochromatized by W/B4C Double-Multilayer-Monochromator (DMM) at 15keV and is focused down to 50 μm in diameter by the polycapillary lens. The micro-X-ray fluorescence microspectroscopy and  two-dimensional mapping experiments can be performed at 4W1B station. This beamline only runs in the dedicated mode of synchrotron radiation.
