| Popis: | Although the Advanced Light Source (ALS) was initially conceived primarily as a low-energy (1.9-GeV) third-generation source of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and soft X-ray radiation, it was realized very early in the development of the facility that a multipole wiggler source coupled with high-quality (brightness-preserving) optics would result in a beamline whose performance across the optimal energy range (5–15 keV) for macromolecular crystallography (MX) would be comparable to, or even exceed, that of many existing crystallography beamlines at higher-energy facilities. Hence, starting in 1996, a suite of three beamlines, branching off a single wiggler source, was constructed, which together formed the ALS Macromolecular Crystallography Facility [1]. From the outset, this facility was designed to cater equally to the needs of both academic and industrial users, with a heavy emphasis placed on the development and introduction of high-throughput crystallographic tools, techniques, and facilities, including la... |
