“…The TwinMic beamline 20 at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste (Trieste, Italy), which combines STXM in the 400-2200 eV energy range with low energy XRF (LEXRF) microscopy, 27,28 has attracted the interest of several scientific communities worldwide. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] Since its first design and initial project, the TwinMic microscope has been conceived as a multi-modal/multi-technique instrument, 27,38,39 where for instance, STXM could be combined with full-field microscopy. In this paper, we focus on AFM integration within the existing TwinMic microscope.…”
