Description

The APS Upgrade (APS-U) is soon to be completed and was a major DOE project that replaced the APS accelerator system with a multi-bend achromat (MBA) lattice and build a suite of new feature beamline along with upgrade of 14 others. The PtychoProbe is the last of the feature beamlines to be commissioned. It will have 5-nm focusing capability, be fast scanning, and combine high resolution structure information with high resolution chemical information. The requirements push the synchrotron instrumentation engineering limits for metrology, control, and data acquisition. This talk will provide insight into the engineering and early commissioning of the PtychoProbe.
