Medium Energy X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Beamline (MEX-1 and MEX-2)
The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.
Research highlights the importance of the Murray Darling Basin for Australia’s waterbirds
An environmental study supported by a citizen science project at ANSTO and UNSW has brought greater understanding of the movement of birds between all of Australia’s major water basins and the importance of the Murray-Darling River Basin.
Detailed isotopic profile of groundwater in NSW can inform management of this essential resource
With world-class experts in groundwater and major contributions in this area over two decades, ANSTO completed a major project report on Improving groundwater sustainability and renewability using isotope hydrochemistry in NSW for the Department of Planning and Environment (NSW) and National Water Grid earlier in the year.
Samples - Infrared microspectroscopy
The Infrared microspectroscopy microscopes can record spectra from a range of different samples; from thin microtomed sections to polished blocks and embedded particles. This section highlights the types of samples that can be analysed using the IRM beamline
