BL-10C at the Photon Factory is one of the world’s oldest small-angle X-ray scattering beamlines. In Spring 2014, the original beamline was scrapped and rebuilt as a beamline equipped with new optical components and an experimental system. Two detectors, PILATUS3 2M and PILATUS3 200K (DECTRIS), were installed for SAXS and WAXS measurements, respectively. Additionally, new devices for sample analysis such as a sample changer, a heating/cooling stage, and a HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) for SEC-SAXS were installed. Moreover, the control system for optical tuning and measurements at the beamline was overhauled, improving ease of operations via several automatic processes. Herein details of the new BL-10C are described.
