The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) 27A1 Nanoscopy Beamline and Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) Endstation, developed through years of dedicated effort, is now ready to provide high-quality soft X-ray sources and nanoscale chemical imaging capabilities. The opening ceremony of the TPS 27A1 Nanoscopy Beamline and STXM Endstation, organized by the Department of Physics at Tamkang University (TKU) and the NSRRC, took place on December 20 at the NSRRC.

The ceremony began with the welcome remarks by Director Chia-Hung Hsu of the NSRRC. The guests of honor from TKU, led by the Chairperson of its Board of Trustees, along with the NSRRC executive team, delivered speeches and unveiled the endstation plaque. The beamline staff then demonstrated the features and core techniques of the endstation to the participants. After the ceremony, attendees proceeded to the lobby for light refreshments and continued their discussions.

This state-of-the-art STXM endstation, collaboratively designed and constructed by the Department of Physics at TKU and the NSRRC, with support from the National Science and Technology Council, highlights the successful outcomes of cross-institutional collaboration. This cutting-edge facility is expected to empower researchers both domestically and internationally in multidisciplinary fields such as energy, semiconductors, magnetism, and environmental science, aiming advance scientific research in Taiwan.
