Hello SEES Community!
If you'd like to add X-ray microscopy to your research or gain access to SEES supported X-ray microscopes, now is a great time to begin. SEES has a new Approved Program at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) called SYSTER*. You can learn about the instruments with scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM), spectromicroscopy, and ptychography capabilities
here.
You are welcome to email me (
toner@umn.edu) and encouraged (always) to email your beamline scientists to discuss your research needs and proposal ideas for Earth and environmental applications.
The general user proposal due dates for the ALS in 2024 are
March 6th and September 4th. When you submit your proposal, please select the 'SYSTER' Approved Program in the general user webform under the
Details tab. Note that you'll also see the other SEES resources at the ALS listed there!
Stay tuned for announcements of new SYSTER personnel at the ALS and our first SEES/SYSTER-supported X-ray microscopy workshop at the
NSLS2 User Meeting.
take care, Brandy
