for the purposes for which the instruments shown below are intended to 
be used, are being manufactured in the United States.

South Cass Ave., Lemont, IL 60439. Instrument: Mythen 1K Detector 
System. Manufacturer: Dectris Ltd., Switzerland. Intended Use: The 
instrument will be used for resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) 
to study the electronic structure of highly correlated systems. This 
instrument is unique in that it has a small pixel pitch (50 microns); 
high detection efficiency, single photon counting with high dynamic 
range; and a small, lightweight and compact design. Justification for 
Duty-Free Entry: There are no instruments of the same general category
