Below are some of the questions we receive concerning SCS. How much knowledge do I need to have about diffraction to be able to use the service? None! We are here to help and explain your result if you need it. The more information you can give us the easier it is for us to
Describing different access modes for SCS
Highlights from starting SCS till now. Homepage for SCS is live In April 2025 we had the first information online about SCS. We continued to build the homepages with more information to attract customers. First users of SCS In February 2025 SCS had their first users. Our first user were propriety access and we used
The Scandinavian Crystallography Service (SCS) is a single crystal X-ray diffraction service for chemical crystallography and materials science. SCS is a mail-in one-stop shop for industry and academics. The SCS aims to reduce the entry-barrier and lead time to obtain state-of-the-art synchrotron diffraction data. How to contact SCS? Academic and industrial users can access SCS
First Light is expected in 2026! Single crystal X-ray diffraction is the preferred technique to solve the atomic structure of a crystalline material. It is now a routine technique in many research laboratories, however, the limited flux, spectral purity and focusing ability of a lab-source severely limits the size and quality of the crystals that
The hard X-ray nanoprobe of Max IV – NanoMAX – is designed to take full advantage of MAX IV’s exceptionally low emittance and the resulting coherence properties of the X-ray beam. The beamline is a powerful X-ray microscope. It focuses the coherent X-ray beam to an a tiny (below 100 nm) and extremely intense and
