Introduction to Soft X-ray Transmission and Emission Microscope, TwinMic at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste

TwinMic is a soft X-ray Microscopy beamline designed to provide different X-ray microscopy techniques with an easy switch between them. It uses the X-ray synchrotron radiation as light source; the X-ray photons generated by the undulator are transferred to the end-station, the microscope, through a series of mirrors, and are suitably monochromatized before reaching the microscope.
This video shows how the TwinMic beamline works, what samples can be studied with it, and the research domains it can be used for.
