Sample

Nanotomography endstation

The nanotomography station: the rotation axis and a fine three-axis sample positioner at the elliptical-mirror nanofocus, for ~120 nm to micron-scale cone-beam tomography.

Enclosure: mogno-nano.

Note

The software paper names device classes (a three-axis fine-movement 'tripod' and motor+AsynRecord scannable stages) but no part numbers or handles. The rotation stage is the master clock for hardware-triggered acquisition (STAGE-1).

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
SampleRotary RotaryStage The tomographic rotation axis; the scannable driven during a tomogram (projections over rotation). Model, encoder, and handle pending (STAGE-1). new confirm
SampleTripod LinearStage Three-axis fine sample positioner (the piezo 'tripod' in the software paper); centring and alignment. Axis set is a per-Asset setting; model and handles pending (STAGE-2). new confirm

Microtomography endstation

The microtomography station: a rotation axis and sample positioner for large-field-of-view cone-beam tomography (field of view to tens of millimetres), conceptually similar to the nano station at coarser resolution.

Enclosure: mogno-micro.

Note

The two stations span ~120 nm to ~55 um resolution and ~150 um to ~85 mm field of view (hardware paper). The micro-station device handles are not separately given in the public sources; modelled at Family granularity, pending (STAGE-3).
