Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) is an essential technique to determine the structure of biological molecules like proteins and nucleic acids to high resolution. 4th generation sources such as MAX IV, coupled with the use of advanced beamline instrumentation and fast readout detectors make it possible to study macromolecular crystals both by the conventional rotation method and
More information on beamline optics and experimental stations pages. NEW! Long Term Proposals (LTP) SPECIES accepts LTPs in the Fall26 call. More information about LTPs is available here! APXPS proposal submission. As there are two complimentary APXPS beamlines at MAX IV, many proposals could be carried out at either HIPPIE or SPECIES. Such proposals can therefore be submitted with a preference
SPECIES is an undulator based soft X-ray beamline, located at the 1.5 GeV storage ring. The offered experimental techniques are Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (APXPS), X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) and Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS). The beamline has two branches that use a common elliptically polarizing undulator (EPU61) and a
MicroMAX is opening up new possibilities in the area of structural biology making it possible to study proteins in 3D and to follow them in time. MicroMAX will allow studying the molecules that are most interesting but most difficult to study because they only provide microcrystals. MicroMAX provides a very small but parallel and intense
ForMAX allows time-resolved multiscale and multimodal structural characterization from nm to mm length scales in a single instrument. Main techniques: For other experimental capability, e.g., grazing-incidence techniques, please contact beamline staff. ForMAX is funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and Swedish industry via Treesearch – a national platform for research on new materials
The CoSAXS beamline is a state-of-the-art multipurpose Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) instrument with opportunities to use the inherent high coherent properties of the 3 GeV MAX IV ring through X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) experiments. It offers high brilliance, monochromatic and tuneable X-rays, with outstanding performance in low beam divergence, high X-ray flux, and
BioMAX is one of two X-ray macromolecular crystallography beamlines at MAX IV Laboratory. It has been in user operation since 2017. Designed for stability, reliability, and ease of use, BioMAX offers a streamlined experimental setup with fully or highly automated data collection capabilities. The beamline supports a wide range of experimental techniques, including experimental phasing,
