Sample

Microtomography endstation

The microtomography endstation, ~45 m from source: a fixed sample table carrying the rotary stage, sample positioning, laminography tilt, sample-side slits and fast shutter, and a slip ring for continuous rotation.

Enclosure: TomoWISE-experiment.

Note

All values TDR design targets. Stage models marked '(target)' are carried as questions, not bound.

Nanotomography endstation

The nanotomography endstation, ~49-51 m from source: the KB mirror pair focuses the undulator beam for 200-nm-class cone-beam imaging. The sample manipulator is a six-axis stack on a granite support, conceptually similar to the microtomography endstation but about a factor of ten more precise.

Enclosure: TomoWISE-experiment.

Note

Mirror Family reused for the KB pair. The TDR specifies the sample manipulator in Table 9.5 (it is NOT deferred to procurement): the stack reuses the same Families as the microtomography endstation (Table, TiltStage, LinearStage, RotaryStage), with a "(target)" model per axis carried as model_target pending procurement (NANO-1). The most critical axis is the rotary: Abbe error from wobble and eccentricity must not exceed 100 nm at 100 mm sample height.
