X-Ray Fluorescence Microprobe Beamline
at the Australian Synchrotron
- Horizontally focusing striped mirror with novel water cooling for zero vibration transmission to optic.
- Cryo-
cooled horizontally deflecting double crystal monochromator (Si(111) & Si(311)) with unique cooling interface for zero vibration transmission to crystals. - High power slits & cooled mask for windowless interface to front end & undulator.
- Beam diagnostics including high resolution CCD camera & quad diode system.
- Horizontal & vertical secondary source aperture with sub-
micron repeatability. - Small KB mirrors (240mm long) in helium environment.
- 44 axis motion control & EPICS software.
- Measured stability of 18 nrad (see DCM page for more info).
