Description

Mogno, the micro and nanotomography X-ray beamline at Sirius, was designed to operate in zoom tomography mode, high-throughput, and for in situ experiments. With a nano-focus source, Mogno promises unprecedented resolution for nanostructural analysis at a high-energy beamline, reaching up to 150 nm with energy levels of 22, 39, and 67 keV. Currently partially open to users, the nano-station is attracting researchers from around the world, while the micro-station installation is underway. Mogno's scientific potential spans diverse fields, including groundwater studies, soil characterization, biomaterial research, and fossil examination. As a forthcoming installation, a HPHT (high pressure, high temperature) environmental cell will be available for studying rocks under Brazilian reservoir conditions, a capacity unprecedented in any other beamline and which has the ability to collaborate on very important topics, such as CO2 storage in depleted reservoirs.
