Sample

The goniometer, the sample-centring base, the automated sample-changing robot, and the sample environment (illumination, cryo-cooling, thawing).

Enclosure: i03-experiment.

Note

The goniometer + aperture-scatterguard + backlight + cryostream could compose an MX-endstation Assembly (the analogue of 2-BM's SampleTower), but grouping is promoted only when a feature must act on the whole, so it is carried flat here and deferred (ASSEMBLY-1).

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
Goniometer Goniometer BL03I-MO-SGON-01: axes: omega / chi / phi rotation + x / y / z sample-centring; centre-of-rotation control; wrapped (unrestricted) omega
the Smargon MX micro-goniometer, the canonical instance that graduated the Goniometer Family; per-axis decomposition + centre-of-rotation calibration to confirm (GONIO-1)
new confirm
LowerGonio LinearStage BL03I-MO-GONP-01: lower goniometer x / y / z base new confirm
Robot BL03I-MO-ROBOT-01: automated sample-changing robot (BartRobot). Per the 19-BM precedent: one Positioner-presenting Asset loading / unloading a Subject, gated by a Clearance, vendor in a bound Model; NOT a new SampleChanger Family (adversarial-verified). The exchange workflow + Subject custody lifecycle are deferred (ROBOT-1) new confirm
Backlight Backlight BL03I sample illumination for on-axis viewing; binds the catalog Backlight Family (the first illumination affordance no prior Family carried, graduated across the MX / imaging fleet, DET-1) new confirm
Cryostream TemperatureController BL03I-EA-CSTRM-01: Oxford cryostream cold-gas sample cooling; a settable actuator; TemperatureController catalog Family (graduated, presents Regulator), reused from I22 (ENV-1) new confirm
Thawer TemperatureController BL03I-EA-THAW-01 sample thawing actuator; a settable actuator; TemperatureController catalog Family (graduated, presents Regulator) (ENV-1) new confirm
