Vijayakumar Vijay Murugesan stands next to the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy imaging system, which is attached to a glovebox via an in situ sample transfer port. The instrument helps Murugesan and other researchers design battery parts then conduct tests in the imaging system. The setup will move to the new Energy Sciences Center later this year.
