MX1 is a bending-magnet crystallography beamline at the 3 GeV Australian Synchrotron. The beamline delivers hard X-rays in the energy range from 8 to 18 keV to a focal spot at the sample position of 120 µm FWHM. The beamline endstation and ancillary equipment facilitate local and remote access for both chemical and biological macromolecular crystallography. Here, the design of the beamline and endstation are discussed. The beamline has enjoyed a full user program for the last seven years and scientific highlights from the user program are also presented.
MX1是位于3 GeV澳大利亚同步加速器上的一条弯铁晶体学光束线。该光束线在8至18 keV的能量范围内将硬X射线传输到样品位置处半高宽为120 µm的焦斑。光束线终端站及辅助设备便于化学和生物大分子晶体学的本地及远程访问。在此,将讨论光束线和终端站的设计。在过去七年中,该光束线一直有完整的用户项目,还将展示该用户项目的科学亮点。
