The new endstation ID27 at the ESRF in Grenoble (F) for probing minerals and materials at extreme conditions of pressure and temperature.

This project supports the construction of new research infrastructure at the European Synchrotron Source ESRF in Grenoble. Among other samples, geomaterials are examined with hard X-rays at ID27: microscopic samples are placed in diamond anvil cells, brought to pressure and temperature conditions of the Earth, and are characterized with X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence analysis in terms of crystal structure and composition.
