The following figures show the 30-ID beamline layout for the HERIX spectrometer:

​

There are three stations at sector 30 accommodating different components used for the inelastic x-ray scattering (HERIX and NRS):

• Station A (FOE): contains white beam components and high-heat-load monochromator (HHLM)
• Station B: houses the high-resolution monochromator (HRM) for both HERIX and NRS spectrometers, including focusing optics and sample environments for Sn-isotope experiments
• Station C: contains the HERIX spectrometer, including focusing optics, sample environments and analyzer system
