Abstract

We are building an undulator and beamline at the NSLS to be used primarily for soft X-ray imaging of biological specimens. The source and beamline are designed to produce high coherent power with enough temporal coherence to allow the practical use of those imaging techniques which require this coherence. A description of the undulator and beamline is given.

Funding

We wish to thank the staff of the NSLS for helping make the beamline possible. In particular, A. Luccio has helped set up the magnetic measurement facility for the SXU and H. Hsieh has designed the exit chamber and undulator mechanism. We also wish to acknowledge helpful discussions with some potential users of the beamline including D. Sayre, R. Feder, and R. Rosser. This work was supported in part by the NSF under grant DMB8410587. The NSLS is supported by DOE under contract DEAC0276CH00016.
