From 2021B, Cryo-TEM and Bio-SAXS have become available. Please apply by following the steps below.
This guidance is for “Non-proprietary research proposal”. If you have “Proprietary research proposal”, please click here.

1. Shifts will be decided according to the rating of your proposal when it was reviewed.
2. If there is unallocated beamtime(machine time) after the allocation of each period, there will be a call for additional beamtime(machine time). Please refer to the announcement.

1. Automatic data collection (with or without visit) can be used at BL45XU,BL41XU and BL32XU. Since international travel is currently very difficult, please consider using automatic data collection without visit. Please note that from October 2020, the operation of BL45XU will be changed to be ready for the operation of the Uni-puck automatic exchange system.
   
2. Requests for non-proprietary beamtime that cannot be allocated to BL45XU during the BL45XU allocation period 18 and 19 may be allocated to BL41XU (July 20 to 30), taking into account the content of the experiment and its grade.
   
3. Remote access can be used at BL26B2 and BL41XU. Please contact the beamline staff for details » bioxtal (followed by @spring8.or.jp).
   
4. You can send three requests with priorities. In each request, only one beamline can be selected from BL41XU, BL45XU, BL32XU, BL26B1 or BL26B2.
   
5. The shortest unit of beamtime is 0.25 shifts [2 hours] for BL32XU (Only measurement without visiting) and BL41XU and BL45XU, 1.5 shifts [12 hours] for BL32XU(Visiting measurement), and 1 shift [8 hours] for BL26B1 and BL26B2.
   
6. Date of measurement will be decided after arrangement.
