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. MAX IV User meeting 2026 Staff at SCS attended the user meeting with a poster and engaged with potential new customers. Update on SINCRYS The front-end for SINCRYS is expected to be installed in Summer 2026 and the diffractometer will be installed in March 2026. Getting SINCRYS built will
The Scandinavian Crystallography Service (SCS) is a single crystal X-ray diffraction service for chemical crystallography and materials science. Single crystal X-ray diffraction is the preferred technique to solve the atomic structure of a crystalline material. Today, it is a routine technique in many research laboratories, however, the limited flux, spectral purity and focusing ability of
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
