Figure 1
Schematic illustration of the Laue microdiffraction setup including an active and passive vibration-damping plate, which supports the sample scanning stages, the hexapods carrying the KB mirrors and the retractable optical microscope. The tilt inclinometer mounted on hexapod 1 monitors the tilt of the first mirror around ry1 (i.e. the incident angle). A linear stage along the tx1 direction carrying a 3 kg mass serves as a tilt actuator to compensate unwanted variations of the tilt. In the alignment phase, for accurate sample positioning, a retractable motorized optical microscope with 0.5 µm resolution, in-line illumination and a zoom-adjustable field of view from 38 to 200 µm replaces the retractable motorized two-dimensional X-ray detector.
