Find a spectrometer

Three XAS/XES spetrometers are currently available to carry out experiments in the Helsinki region at the Center for X-ray spectroscopy.

With external partners, we have also an international branch (see below). There are also several additional state-of-the-art X-ray based instruments, including XRF, µCT and XRD to name a few, available on request for complementary characterizations and pre-screening of samples (see ). Interested? The best option is just to contact us and ask recommendations and best practices for your case.
