Micro focus setups (< 2019)
Rapid Switching Between Systems
We have installed the post-focussing equipment on a translation table to permit fast switching between setups (Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors to the right in the image and Beryllium lenses to the left). |
Post focusing Kirkpatrick-Baez System (KB) mirrors |
||
20 µm beam Focus distance ~175mm |
||
Without KB 250 x 250 µm2 |
Focused with KB 25 x 25 µm2 |
