P413 – Mirror Unit RGBL BESSY
Application
Mirror unit (M4a) for soft X-ray synchrotron radiation
Year of delivery
2016
Installation site
Russian-German beamline at BESSY, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, Germany
The constant-strut-length hexapod design used in this switching mirror unit is adapted from that of the EMIL beamlines hexapods (see projects P405 to P412).
Design Features
-
Constant-strut-length hexapod mechanism.
- Six degrees of freedom and selectable rotation center.
- Spectral range: 10 – 1300 eV.
- Optical elements: two focusing mirrors.
- Electrode at mirrors surfaces for carbon contamination prevention.
-
Provisions for RF oxygen plasma cleaning of the optical surface.
- Provisions from measuring the photocurrent at each mirror.
- Permanently installed bakeout provisions.
- Adjustable support structure.
Performance Features
- High positioning resolution (minimum incremental motion).
- High stability and repeatability for all degrees of freedom.
- Minimized mounting induced deformations.
