X-ray Optical Bench
- Unlimited flexibility in optical setups
Dedicated instruments are often limited in their adaptibility to new experiments. Our X-ray optical bench provides a generic experimental platform for use both at standalone sources and synchtron/FEL beamlines. Standardized modules position optics and sample with nm/µrad resolutions.
Applications
- X-ray imaging (coherent diffractive imaging or zone plate based)
- Scanning (ptychography, STXM, etc.)
- Optics tests (gratings, zone plates, waveguides, etc.)
- In-line X-ray holography
- NEXAFS spectrometry
- X-ray diffraction and reflectometry
- Interference lithography
Features
- Bright standalone sources
- Standardized optics/sample positioning modules
- Vacuum chamber (10-7mbar)
- Control system with SPEC and EPICS interface
- Compact and transportable for experiments at synchrotron/FEL beamlines
Options
- Condenser optics
- Focusing optics
- Special detectors
