The proposed TXM-IR Correlative beamline is a novel combined X-ray, Infrared and confocal fluorescence microscopy beamline aimed at correlative measurements simultaneously on the same sample. The TXM-IR is feasible to build commercially within 3 years, utilizes a bending magnet, and is ideally suited to third generation synchrotrons. The ability to correlate high spatial resolution tomography (~20 nm) with confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) and IR imaging provides a powerful tool ideally suited to a diverse range of user communities: bio-medical, forensic, material science, nanofabrication and others. This unique beamline provides Australian researchers a versatile imaging microscope system needed for leading-edge research.
