Overview of a beam diagnostic device at the SPB/SFX instrument. (a) UHV-compatible mounting block for four scintillators (S) and optical mirrors (M). (b) Overview of a Type I diagnostic device with a standard DN63CF cube as its basic building block (B). The three-point mount (M) for camera (C) and optics (O) can be removed without breaking the vacuum inside the cube for maintenance and baking. The scintillators are inserted into the beam via a motorized translation (T). An optical filter (F) is used to block transmission of the blue light from the reference laser which causes fluorescence emission from the scintillator just like the X-ray beam and thus can be visualized in the same way. (c) Illustrative example output from a Type I diagnostic device: diffraction from an instrument slit system closed to a gap of a few tens of micrometres in the horizontal and vertical direction, as imaged in a plane more than 22 m downstream at a photon energy of 9.3 keV. Only a very small fraction from the much larger incident beam was selected here. The image is a background-corrected average of 647 single-FEL-pulse images.
