These studies are important because they give confidence in the transferability and reproducibility of quantitative XPS analyses from different instruments. Great that the @RoyceInstitute #VXSF facility was part of this study. @MPMEGroupLeeds @BraggRoyceLeeds @EPSRC_CMAC https://twitter.com/WarwickXPS/status/1331535109007282177

Looking forward to sharing exciting ideas for the high energy microfocus beamline µ15 @DiamondLightSou! Not interested in PDF? 😲 Don't worry! There will be plenty of high-speed operando XRD, XRD-computed tomography and anomalous scattering too! https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Home/Events/2020/Diamond-II-Webinar---15-Flagship-Beamline-Project.html https://twitter.com/goodwingroupox/status/1319617356642091009
