There will be an experimental station before the monochromator, experimental position 1, where samples can be introduced into the unfocused , ~1mm in diameter, beam.

The UHV end station, outlined in the figure below, is designed for soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (PES), x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and x-ray adsorption spectroscopy (XAS) of surface and solid state samples of up to 10mm in diameter having ultra-high vacuum compatibility.

This endstation is designed for soft x-ray resonant single-shot imaging (Fourier Transform Holography and Coherent Diffractive Imaging), small angle resonant scattering and optical pump - x-ray probe of fixed targets in transmission geometry with focus on magnetization dynamics and phase transitions.

In the first phase, this endstation will perform time-resolved pump-probed resonant soft x-ray scattering to study the dynamics of the charge ordering states in solid state materials.

The CAMP end station is designed to explore the interaction of intense (soft) x-ray radiation with various targets of increasing complexity and size, ranging from atoms and (laser-aligned) molecules to nano-particles such as clusters and biological targets.

The Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) endstation is a system dedicated to the investigation of the interaction of light with dilute clouds of trapped highly charged ions (HCI).

The experimental station to study chemical dynamics in the liquid phase is based on a differentially pumped liquid jet system, developed at the MPI for Biophysical Chemistry.
