𝗔𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗬 𝗜𝗜 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 💫 BESSY II now hosts Europe’s only 𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 — a new instrument developed by HZB, Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). With photon detection efficiency 100 to 1000 times higher than conventional XES and RIXS spectrometers, it opens new possibilities for studying atomically thin layers, nanostructures and highly diluted samples. Some measurements that once took hours can now be done in minutes. The team is now looking forward to exciting research proposals from the user community.
