Learn how sample environments are designed, commissioned in X-ray imaging experiments!

Title: MEDSI Parallel Workshop on Sample Environments for Synchrotron X-ray Imaging: Design and Commissioning
When: 15 September, 2025, 14:00-17:00*
*The MEDSI Welcome Reception will take place from 17:00 to 19:00, and participants of this workshop are invited to attend.
Where: LINXS, The Loop, Rydbergs torg 4, Lund
Organiser: AIDA theme, MAX IV

About the event

This workshop aims to bridge the gap between beamline and mechanical engineers who design sample environments, and the scientists who commission and use them during applied synchrotron X-ray imaging experiments.
