Sample¶
The micro-goniometer, the automated sample-changing robot, the on-axis viewing, and the sample cooling. PVs verified against the amx-profile-collection startup files.
Enclosure: 17-ID-B.
Note
AMX mounts cryo-cooled protein crystals on a single-omega micro-goniometer with x/y/z centring and PI fine stages, exchanged by an EMBL robot from a 48-position dewar. The goniometer reuses the graduated Goniometer family; the robot is one Positioner Asset (not a new Family). Sample cryo-cooling (the cold-gas cryostream) is not exposed in the profile collection, so it is deferred (CRYO-1).

Goniometer |
Goniometer |
XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{Gon:1 |
The MX micro-goniometer (single omega rotation XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{Gon:1-Ax:O}Mtr plus GX / GY / GZ sample-centring and PY / PZ pin fine stages). Reuses the Goniometer family (graduated on the i03 Smargon, reused at FMX); per-axis decomposition and centre-of-rotation calibration pending (GONIO-1). | confirm |
|
Robot |
XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{EMBL}: |
Automated sample-changing EMBL robot (XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{EMBL}:) coordinated by the LSDC / mxtools Governor state machine (XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{Gov:...}) with a 48-position dewar and a sample-detection smart magnet. Per the i03 / 19-BM / FMX precedent: one Positioner-presenting Asset loading / unloading a Subject, gated by a Clearance, vendor in a bound Model; NOT a new SampleChanger Family. The exchange workflow and Subject custody lifecycle are deferred (ROBOT-1). | confirm |

SampleCamera |
Camera |
XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{Cam:7} |
On-axis sample-viewing camera (a Prosilica; low-mag XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{Cam:6} and X-eye XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{Cam:9} cameras serve alignment). Reuses the Camera family. AMX exposes no separate on-axis backlight PV (an FMX-vs-AMX difference). | confirm |
