The multipurpose X-ray diffraction end-station of the BM25B-SpLine synchrotron beamline at the ESRF

• Versatile and multidisciplinary X-ray diffraction end-station for synchrotron radiation
• X-Ray Reflectivity, Reciprocal Space Maps, Surface, Single Crystal, Grazing Incidence and High Resolution Powder Diffraction can be performed using a point detector or a 2D detector (Charge-Coupled Device), in combination with many sample environment setups.

The Spanish BM25-SpLine beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility allocates in the first focal point of Branch B a versatile experimental set-up devoted to X-ray diffraction studies. X-Ray Reflectivity, Reciprocal Space Maps, Surface, Single Crystal, Grazing Incidence and High Resolution Powder Diffraction can be performed using a point detector or a 2D detector (Charge-Coupled Device), in combination with many sample environment setups. A detailed description of the end-station is presented, including several examples that demonstrate the excellent capabilities of the setup.
