SoftiMAX is a soft X-ray beamline, dedicated to spectromicroscopy and coherent imaging. The beamline operates in the photon energy range between 275 eV and 2.5 keV and has two branch lines: one for STXM and Ptychography with a sub-100 nm focus, and one modular line for coherent and full-field techniques that require a larger beam size (up to 20 micron).
Proposal call for 2027a
The next proposal call will open between September 2 and September 16, 2026 at 14:00 CET, and cover the beamtime period January 2027 to June 2027. It is always a good idea to contact the beamline staff with questions about the SoftiMAX beamline or techniques when preparing a proposal.
