A newly designed monochromator assembly for the State University of New York (SUNY) X3 beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) consists of two monochromators enclosed in a single vessel, positioned at 7813 mm from the bending magnet source. It allows delivery of monochromatic radiation into two independent end stations. The first unit contains two crystals reflecting in the vertical plane, and operating in a channel-cut'' mode. The second of the crystals can be bent for sagittal focusing of the beam. The second monochromator unit reflects 2 mrad of the radiation fan between the A2 and [ital B] branches of the beamline at a fixed angle of 2[Theta]=12[degree], and serves the sideways experimental station A1. Four interchangeable triangular crystals, mounted on a rotary holder, provide x rays of four different energies.
