  • Design, production, installation, commissioning

A copper resonator rests on a wooden base. The resonator is cylindrical, but a total of six longer and shorter metal arms protrude outward, making the whole thing look a bit like a star or a satellite.
Several cryogenic coolers, metal cylinders with numerous hoses and cables and each with a control cabinet, are lined up in a room.

X-Ray Optics

  • Complete beam line systems and instrumentation: monochromators, mirrors etc. 

  • Liquid nitrogen cryocooler systems
