Polarization is user selectable; linear (variable from horizontal to vertical) & circular (left and right-handed). Detectors: Flange mounted ANDOR CCD iKon L 936. Twotheta arm Princeton Instruments MTE3 CCD & Si Photodiode. Vector plane magnet (x-z) up to 0.1T without cooling, 0.65T with LN2 cooling.Vacuum compatible (p < 1e-7), sample heating (400 K) and cooling (20 K). Transmission geometry samples: need soft x-ray transparent substrates e.g. Si3N4 membranes - can estimate x-ray transparency for transmission substrates here. Reflection geometry samples: need <8mm lateral dimensions, < 3mm in height/thickness.

                      Sample Manipulator Huber XYZ stage 1.1 micron rms sphere of confusion

                      "Cool Hand Luke" Robot accepts all major pin types (Hampton, Yale, SPINE, etc.) and lengths (10-24 mm) and supports "delayed data collection mode" where data collection runs are deferred to the end of the shift. This robot does not work directly with cassettes because hand-mounting of samples in the mini-hutch is faster than any robot.

                    • All SBS compliant crystallization trays supported

                      Thin-walled in-situ ready trays such as in-situ-1 highly recommended

                      Ambient temperature only currently supported
