Figure 2
A CAD render of the shutter's inner housing is shown with twin linear VCAs mounted in opposing directions. The coils are shown in the open position, allowing the X-rays to pass through the device denoted by the illuminated beam path. When the closing signal is received, the shutter achieves its sub-millisecond time-to-close, in part, by having the aperture closed from opposite sides simultaneously.
