Sample¶
Txm endstation¶
The in-house transmission X-ray microscope (TXM): a granite-supported sample stage carrying the rotation axis and the zone-plate optics for in-situ nano-tomography. This is 32-ID's tomography instrument and the one endstation this scaffold models.
Enclosure: 32-ID-C.
Note
The published TXM overview mixes pre-APS-U and current hardware (TXM-1), so every device is carried confirm. The TXM-specific optics (condenser, objective zone plate, phase ring) bind to the Condenser, ZonePlate, and PhaseRing catalog Families, which graduated once FXI became a second deployment sharing them. Their optical details are OPTICS-1..3.
