Mid-IR Data Organization
Data collected at the Mid-IR beamline is organized by your project number. Data is further organized into two subdirectories for each project.

All data collected at the Mid-IR beamline is accessible on Globus and is attached to your Canadian Light Source account. To retrieve the data, please follow this step-by-step guide. Contact us if you need any assistance with the data transfer.
Access CLS Data on Globus
Globus delivers advanced file transfer and sharing capabilities to researchers no matter where their data live. Globus Connect Server makes it easy to add your lab cluster, campus research computing system, or other multiuser HPC facility to the Globus ecosystem. The CLS provides a Globus Connect Server endpoint that connects to our beamline data share, allowing users associated with scientific proposals access to their data.
