Synchrotron

Portable X-Ray Microspectroscope

Challenge:

In order to perform microscopy and spectroscopy experiments achieving image resolution at the nm level it is necessary to control and maintain temperature, humidity and pressure as stable as possible over time. Mounting a complete system into a controlled environment is often limited by the dimension of the setup itself. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the footprint and enhance the instrument performance to achieve a nanometer resolution.

Benefits:

• nanometer resolution
• harsh environment compatibility( ultra-high vacuum or radiation)

• limited footprint of only several square centimeters attocube ´ s solution:

A combination of small sized piezo positioners and scanners provides the necessary millimeter travel range for alignment and imaging the sample with the required resolution. Using a laser interferometer as feedback allows the customer to monitor the motion with a resolution of 1pm ensuring nanometer precise closed-loop positioning.
