Diamond MX on-site training is changing, and we now offer three different events tailored to different experience levels and needs, each of these events will run once a year. If you are a new or less experienced user to Diamond MX, we offer an Introduction to Diamond MX training event, generally early in the year. For advanced experiments using the Diamond MX beamlines we offer Going further in MX: Advanced Experiments at Diamond.
