abstract = {{ForMAX is an advanced beamline at MAX IV Laboratory, enabling multi-scale structural characterisation of hierarchical materials from nm to mm length scales with high temporal resolution. It combines full-field microtomography with small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SWAXS) techniques, operating at 8-25 keV and providing a variable beam size. The beamline supports SWAXS, scanning SWAXS imaging, absorption contrast tomography, propagation-based phase contrast tomography, and fast tomography. The experimental station is a versatile in-house design, tailored for various sample environments, allowing seamless integration of multiple techniques in the same experiment. The end station features a nine-meter-long evacuated flight tube with a motorized small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) detector trolley. Additionally, a granite gantry enables independent movement of the tomography microscope and custom-designed wide-angle x-ray (WAXS) detector. These features facilitate efficient switching and sequential combination of techniques. With commissioning completed in 2022, ForMAX End Station has demonstrated excellent performance and reliability in numerous high-quality experiments.}},
