Beamlines: 14-BM-C Station
Home › Facilities › Beamlines › 14-BM-C Station
The 14-BM-C station is as a fixed-wavelength bending magnet station especially well suited for crystallography of viruses and proteins with large unit cells, as well as collection of atomic ultra-high resolution data. Fiber diffraction is also supported.
