Sample¶
The endstation sample manipulators and the in-situ environment. PVs verified against the RSoXS and HAXPES TOML device manifests.
SST holds samples in UHV manipulators, one per endstation, each presenting the beam to a different measurement: a solid-sample stage for soft-X-ray scattering, a multi-axis manipulator for photoemission.

The manipulators¶
Both manipulators reuse the Manipulator family that Diamond and NSLS-II ESM earned (a UHV multi-axis sample stage, distinct from a Goniometer or a Hexapod): the RSoXSManipulator is a four-axis solid-sample stage (X / Y / Z / Yaw), the HAXPESManipulator a multi-axis stage (X / Y / Z / R). This is the reuse point: ESM graduated Manipulator from the SIX and ESM UHV stages, and SST binds it twice more, one per endstation, without any new vocabulary. The NEXAFS endstation has its own manipulator (XF:07ID1-BI{NXFS-Ax:}), deferred (INSITU-1).
Sample environment¶
The SampleTemperature Lakeshore controller reuses the TemperatureController family (graduated in #350). SST's soft-matter and surface science also use a set of in-situ accessories, a HAXPES flood gun (charge neutralizer) and source-measure unit (sample bias), a UCAL ADR cryostat, and an RSoXS syringe pump, each of which fits no existing family cleanly and is deferred to a named question (INSITU-1) rather than modelled at this design phase.
