MOGNO, the nano and microtomography beamline at Sirius, the Brazilian synchrotron light source

Abstract The MOGNO beamline is a high-energy imaging beamline dedicated to in situ and operando experiments in heterogeneous and hierarchical samples, and one of the beamlines of the first phase of SIRIUS, the 4th generation storage ring at the LNLS. The beamline is currently under commissioning and will operate at energies of 21.5, 39.0 and 67.7 keV, using as primary source a 3.2T permanent magnet dipole, with critical energy of 19.15 keV. The beam is demagnified down to a nanometric focal spot (≈120 nm) using a set of three elliptical mirrors, which introduces a divergence and, hence, the beamline operates in a cone beam geometry with variable field-of-view (FoV between 150 µm to 85 mm) and spatial resolution (≈120 nm to 55 |am). These conditions are reached with two end-stations, the nanotomography and the microtomography stations. A high-Z photon counting detector, with detection area of ≈85 x 85 mm2, will serve for both the nano and micro-station, but the beamline will also count on an indirect detection system based on a sCMOS camera and a macroscope.
