Although remote access to beamline synchrotron facilities is now a common operation mode at macromolecular crystallography beamlines thanks to substantial efforts in automated processes for sample preparation and handling, experiment planning and analysis, this is still not the case for XAFS beamlines. Here the experience and developments undertaken at LNLS and Diamond in automation are described, in an attempt to tackle the specific challenges posed by the high variability in experimental conditions and configurations that XAFS measurements require.
尽管由于在样品制备与处理、实验规划与分析的自动化流程方面付出了巨大努力，如今远程访问同步辐射光束线设施已成为大分子晶体学光束线的一种常见运行模式，但对于XAFS光束线而言，情况并非如此。本文描述了巴西国家同步辐射实验室（LNLS）和英国钻石光源（Diamond）在自动化方面的经验与进展，旨在应对XAFS测量所需的实验条件和配置高度可变所带来的特殊挑战。
