BEAMLINE GUIDE
APS 24-ID-E (NE-CAT)

Sector 24 utilizes canted insertion devices to provide two independent x-ray sources, one for a variable energy beamline 24-ID-C (6-21KeV) and another for a fixed-energy beamline 24-ID-E (Se peak). Both beamlines are optimized to address challenging cases in macromolecular crystallography such as large complex molecular assemblies, poorly diffracting crystals, and microcrystals by providing extremely stable and intense x-ray beams with beam sizes ranging from 5 to 70 microns. The 24-ID-E beamline delivers X-rays at 12.66 keV. ALS style Robot installed on both beamlines for better productivity. Remote operations available.  1 Beamline 24-ID-E: Sector 24 – Insertion Device.
