Visit to MAX-IV on 25th of November
MAX IV Laboratory is a Swedish national synchrotron laboratory that has operated as a user facility since 2016.
It offers access to 16 beamlines that provide modern X-ray spectroscopy, scattering/diffraction, and imaging techniques to contribute to solving scientific questions in a wide range of areas:
- Reveal nanoscale and microscale structures, often simultaneously;
- Perform true 3D imaging of internal features through X-ray tomography;
- Monitor changes in chemistry, bonding, and molecular orientation as they occur.
The X-ray light at MAX IV is produced by an accelerator complex comprising a linear accelerator as well as 1.5 GeV and a 3 GeV storage ring for electrons. MAX IV is the first worldwide realisation of a fourth-generation light source, which has opened opportunities to develop experimental techniques based on outstanding brightness and coherence.
Beyond the cutting-edge instrumentation, what truly distinguishes MAX IV is its vibrant community of over 300 employees, including expert scientists and technical staff. Their deep expertise, collaborative spirit, and commitment to excellence empower researchers and industry partners across disciplines to fully harness these world-class tools. Standing at the forefront of research and innovation in Sweden and across Europe, MAX IV enables breakthroughs in fields as diverse as biology, medicine, materials science, polymer engineering, energy storage, crystallography, chemistry, and sustainability.
