Figure 1
A half shutter module. The X-rays will be absorbed at the tip of the lever structure on the left. The lever is connected via two flexure hinges to the piezo actuators, which operate in inverse directions. An expansion of the upper piezo and a contraction of the lower piezo will result in a movement of the lever to the left, which corresponds to a closing motion. Two such modules are combined for a full shutter. Scale bar: 25 mm.
