Leibniz Application Laboratoy: Berlin Laboratory for Innovative X-ray technologies (BLIX)

About

A new application laboratory has been initiated in the field of innovative X-ray technologies. This „Berlin Laboratory for Innovative X-ray Technologies“ (BLiX) aims at state-of-the-art technological and scientific progress. BliX is supposed to be a place for collaborative technological developement in the triangle Knowledge – Education – Innovation supporting technology transfer projects between partners from small and medium enterprises and scientific facilities as well as education and advanced training.

Background

In 2008 the MBI has compiled together with the Institute for Management at the Freie Universität Berlin (FU) and the Institute for Applied Photonics (IAP) Berlin a feasibility study (founded by BMVBS in the framework of the program "Wirtschaft trifft Wissenschaft - WtW") for an application laboratory in close cooperation with the Technische Universität Berlin (TU). As a consequence BLiX was launched in the fall of 2009 at the Technische Universität Berlin as an Innovative Lab affiliated to the endowed professorship 'analytical X-ray physics' at the Institute of Optics and Atomic Physics. The transfer activities of MBI to BLiX are embeded in the concept of Leibniz Application Laboratory of the WGL sponsored by the WtW program. Consequently BLIX has become also a Leibniz Application Laboratory. There are three main transfer projects.

Transfer projects

Highly brilliant Laser-Plasma-Source for the soft X-ray region around 1 keV
HAPG-spectrometer for chemical speciation
Laboratory Transmission X-ray microscope for the water window
