ENERGY & WAVELENGTH CONFIGURATION

SER-CAT beamline 22-ID-D will usually be set to 1.00 Å wavelength for the beginning of your time-slot, but both MAD and SAD experiments often require changes of this parameter. The method for accomplishing a wavelength change on 22-ID-D is given below:

  • 22-ID-D:
    • one may enter desired energy in eV (note: NOT keV!) - OR...
    • one may enter desired energy in wavelength (lambda, measured in Å)
    • note that the undulator gap energy will be slightly higher in eV than the desired energy; this is normal, and is a function of APS calibration considerations
  • 22-ID-E:
    • this will be a "fixed wavelength" beamline, delivering 12,700 eV x-rays
    • note that the undulator gap energy will be slightly higher in eV than the desired energy; this is normal, and is a function of APS calibration considerations
