Connecting Scales in Vibrational Imaging: Synchrotron Microscopy Station for Spatial-, Temporal- and Polarization-Resolved Spectroscopy
The characterisation of the molecular structure, composition and interactions of a biological, inorganic or synthesised material is a prerequisite for understanding its properties and functions.
Through infrared (IR) absorption or Raman scattering, this is achieved with micrometre resolution. The aim of this project is to build a new unique Synchrotron-Microscopy-Station (SyMS) in which synchrotron IR and Raman microscopy can be combined in one device.
IR imaging takes advantage of the unique properties of IR synchrotron radiation, resulting in a wide range of spatial and temporal options for the microspectroscopic experiments.
The “Beamline IRIS am BESSY II” offers excellent opportunities to develop and operate the new equipment.
