On the way towards PETRA IV

Preparative workshops in autumn 2020 and deadline for scietific instrument proposals on Dec. 1, 2020

PETRA IV will be the new X-ray microscope at DESY which will show chemical and physical processes from the atom to visible objects and from nanoseconds to hours.

Topical online workshops regarding the planned synchrotron radiation source PETRA IV will take place in autumn 2020.

Scientific instrument proposals for PETRA IV can be submitted until Dec. 01, 2020.
