ForMAX is founded by industrial partners and private foundations to advance research and development of sustainable materials and specialty chemicals from forest raw materials, but the beamline will also be open for general users. Here we will describe the beamline concept, focusing on the novel combination of SWAXS and full-field tomography. ForMAX has finished the commissioning phase in early 2023 and currently is in regular user operation. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
