16-IDD
Established setups for high-pressure inelastic x-ray scattering (1-2 eV resolution) and x-ray emission spectroscopy.

X-ray Raman and Inelastic X-Ray Scattering
X-ray emission spectroscopy

16-BMB
Dedicated to white beam x-ray diffraction and radiography researches of matters under high pressure, the station has two major setups: a Paris-Edinburgh cell (PEC) for samples requiring a large scattering volume, especially, for the high-temperature melt and amorphous structure, and Micro-focused white beam Laue diffraction optimized for high pressure.
