tools & techniques
Here you find brief descriptions of our experimental tools. If you would like to come and use them for realizing a great idea or intend to develop similar tools in your laboratory and need further information or help, please do not hesitate to contact the respective scientist in charge. We shall be more than happy to assist you.

Fig. 2. View into the ultrahigh vacuum chamber of the attosecond beamline AS3. In the foreground, a Rhenium single crystal is mounted on the sample manipulator. An attosecond XUV pulse and a few-cycle NIR pulse are focused onto the sample by the double mirror visible in the background. Photoemitted electrons are detected by a time-of-flight detector (top of the picture). (© thn)
