The experimental table is made of a granit block 2200 mm  long x 960 mm large x 280 mm thick to avoid vibrational and deformation problems. It is mounted on a standard three legs system plus two horizontal translation stages allowing a total of five degrees of freedom (three rotations and two translations). The table supports the Slit Box, the Diffractometer and the Mar225 Detector and these devices have been pre-aligned and bolted firmly to the table.
