The hard X-ray micro-focusing beamline BL15U1 is one of the Phase I beamlines at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). The BL15U1 is dedicated to hard X-ray microanalysis allowing the combination of fluorescence, spectroscopy and diffraction techniques in energy range from 5 to 20 keV. It provides users the possibility of obtaining samples information such as the spatial distribution, concentration and speciation of trace elements along with structural analysis at the micro and sub-micron levels in a nondestructive manner. It is ideal microprobe for different fields including biology, medicine, environmental and earth sciences, art and archaeology, as well as material sciences.
