The Second Generation Scanning Photoemission Microscope at the beamline X1a of the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS), X1A SPEM II, is designed for spatially resolved elemental and chemical analysis by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) on material surfaces. Based on Fresnel Zone Plate (ZP) microfocusing techniques with the use of a bright and coherent photon source, this microscope is capable of acquiring XPS spectra from a small area irradiated by the focused beam and taking element-specific (using photopeaks) or chemical-state-specific (by detecting the chemical core level shifts) images with a spatial resolution defined by the focused spot size.
