Experimental setups used on I18
See below information on typical stage setups and limits for I18. If any further information or requests are needed, please email beamline scientists. 3D printer is available for custom setups.
2D Scanning Stage
- XRF maps use continuous scanning of the x-stage, this removes the deadtime associated with step scans allowing for larger and faster XRF maps.
3D Scanning Stage
- Tomography stage ideal for mounting capillaries, pins or pips. Pico motors allow complete 360 degree rotation.
