Synchrotrons are brilliant sources of X-ray radiation used in a variety methods to study the structure matter and dynamics processes on atomic scale. spectroscopy at synchrotrons typically combined with beam monochromatization which guarantees better energy resolution but also reduces orders magnitude photon flux incident sample thus wastes vast majority photons produced. Here we report commissioning an spectrometer PolyX beamline SOLARIS specialized application white, broadband monochromatic multimodal microimaging, microtomography microscpectroscopic studies. The was acquire good quality Fe K-edge absorption spectrum over about 120 eV-range within seconds. In this work present first measured using synchrotron white combination von Hámos geometry-based spectrometer.
