Techniques

What 2-BM can do. Each technique runs a portable Catalog Method, bound to this beamline's hardware and Operations. This function view survives equipment swaps.

Imaging

All realize cora.capability.tomography and need the Microscope detector and the Sample tower.

Technique Catalog method Notes
Tomography tomography step-scan projections over a rotation
Continuous-rotation tomography continuous_rotation_tomography fly-scan, rotation never stops
Streaming tomography streaming_tomography projections streamed for live reconstruction
Mosaic tomography mosaic_tomography XY tiling for a field wider than the detector

Laminography is a tomography Plan run at a tilt setpoint on the same tower, not a separate Method.

Energy

Technique Catalog method Notes
Energy change (Mono / Pink) beamline_energy_change drives the monochromator and mirror to a configured energy

Run it via Operations: the energy_setting Procedure and recipe.

Supporting operations

Run as Procedures and Recipes under Operations:

Capability Catalog methods
alignment resolution_alignment, focus_alignment, center_alignment, roll_alignment, pitch_alignment
characterization sensitivity_characterization, energy_characterization
acquisition dark_field, flat_field
maintenance motor_homing, hexapod_reboot
